Status of NSRL-ICCHIBAN, ICCHIBAN-7 and -8 and future ICCHIBAN experiments
Abstract
The ICCHIBAN InterComparison for Cosmic-rays with Heavy Ion Beams At NIRS project is an international collaboration established in order to intercompare detector response and intercalibrate space radiation instruments used for astronaut and cosmonaut dosimetry Over the past four years 20 laboratories in 12 nations have participated in eight ICCHIBAN experiments at the NIRS HIMAC in Japan and two ICCHIBAN experiments at accelerator facilities in the USA Results from the ICCHIBAN experiments have improved the calibration of space flight radiation instruments have proved useful in resolving discrepancies between measurements made by different instruments during space flight and have aided in analyzing and interpreting data obtained by both active and passive detectors exposed in low-Earth orbit We present here the current status of the ICCHIBAN project including the status of the ICCHIBAN-7 and ICCHIBAN-8 experiments carried out at HIMAC in Sept 2005 together with plans for future ICCHIBAN experiments
