Geant4-simulated particle spectra for meteorites with pre-atmospheric radii ranging from 4 cm to 500 cm. Flux densities are provided in units of 1/(cm^2 s^1 MeV^1), and depths are measured in cm from the pre-atmospheric surface. The dataset was authored by Ingo Leya and is hosted on Harvard Dataverse.
Use Cases
- Modeling cosmogenic nuclide production rates in meteorites based on simulated particle spectra.
- Analyzing radiation exposure gradients within meteoroids based on depth measurements.
- Calibrating experimental data from meteorite samples using simulated flux densities.
- Studying the effects of meteoroid size on internal particle spectra based on the pre-atmospheric radius range.
Strengths
- Simulated data covers a wide range of meteoroid sizes with radii from 4 cm to 500 cm.
- Physical units for flux and depth are explicitly defined in the description.
Limitations
- Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
- Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
