The objective of this activity is to use accelerator facilities to quantify the physical models and cross sections for high energy charged particle secondary production (in particular delta rays) in representative spacecraft and instrument materials, together with evaluation of low-energy charged particle forward scattering in the silicon pore optics of the ATHENA mirror. This shall allow improved evaluation of radiation-induced background on ATHENA science data. Procurement Policy: C(3) = Activity restricted to SMEs RD Entities.
