Scientific paper
Spaceborne gamma-ray spectrometers sensitivity is investigated. Monte Carlo transport codes are employed to simulate particle transport of cosmic rays and inner-belt protons in representations of the gamma-ray observatory spacecraft and the oriented scintillation spectrometer experiment. Results are used to quantify the contributions to the radioactive background, assess shielding options and examine the effect of detector and spacecraft orientation in anisotropic trapped proton fluxes.
