Solar energetic particles and galactic cosmic rays with energies larger than 100 MeV cause progressive charging of the LISA experiment test masses. Consequently, Coulomb forces occur between the test masses and the surrounding conducting surfaces generating spurious signals that might be mistaken for gravitational wave signals. We have parametrized the energy spectra of galactic cosmic-ray nuclei and electrons near the LISA orbit in order to evaluate their role in the test-mass charging relative to the most abundant proton component. This work has been carried out using the FLUKA Monte Carlo program.
