Scientific paper

A GEANT4 based simulation of a compact lightweight radiation monitor to be included in the payload of future space missions is presented. The instrument must meet severe mass and power constrains, satisfy mission safety requirements and it is also required to perform as a scientific instrument. GEANT4 is a powerful tool for developing and optimising such detector concept thanks to its capabilities for describing the complex detector geometries and simulating the passage of particles through matter. Moreover, the presence of an optical physics process category in GEANT4 is of the utmost importance in the development of a scintillation based detector concept.
