Scientific paper

RAD, the Radiation Assessment Detector on NASA's Mars Science Laboratory (MSL) rover mission is designed to detect a wide range of different particle species at energies up to 100 MeV/nuc. We present the beam testing results for the flight units of the RAD Sensor Head unit (RSH). Neutral particle response, anti-coincidence efficiency as well as behaviour for relativistic high-Z (up to iron) particles will be shown. Additionally, we present the response of our RSH GEANT4 model for the expected (simulated) Mars surface radiation environment.
