  • Title: Flux of high-LET cosmic-ray particles in manned space flight.
    Author: Benton EV, Henke RP, Peterson DD, Bailey JV, Tobias CA.
    Journal: Life Sci Space Res; 1975; 13():121-8. PubMed ID: 11913417.
    Abstract:
    On the Apollo and Skylab missions the high energy heavy ion (HZE) flux was measured by means of plastic nuclear track detectors. Measurements involve the fluxes of high linear energy transfer (LET), 6 < or approximately Z < or approximately 26 particles incident on astronauts and on several biological experiments. Partial results of these measurements are presented; the effects of shielding and solar modulation are discussed.
