Time- and Energy-Resolved Coupled Saturn Radiation Environments Simulations Using the Integrated Tiger Series (ITS) Code

Depriest, Kendall D.; Pointon, Timothy D.; Sirajuddin, David S.; Ulmen, Benjamin A.

Using a newly developed coupling of the ElectroMagnetic Plasma In Realistic Environments (EMPIRE) code with the Integrated Tiger Series (ITS) code, radiation environment calculations have been performed. The effort was completed as part of the Saturn Recapitalization (Recap) program that represents activities to upgrade and modernize the Saturn accelerator facility. The radiation environment calculations performed provide baseline results with current or planned hardware in the facility. As facility design changes are proposed and implemented as part of Saturn Recap, calculations of the radiation environment will be performed to understand how the changes impact the output of the Saturn accelerator.
