abstract
Systems, methods, and computer-readable storage media for simulating a non-homogenous space environment. A system can include a ion beam generator, a moderator block, a radiation detector, at least one processor which can execute operations including: transmitting, 7o the ion beam generator, a beam generation signal, the beam generation signal specifying an energy level of an ion beam and a duration of the ion beam, the ion beam making first contact with the moderator block and subsequent contact with a test animal; receiving, from the radiation detector after the duration of the ion beam is completed, energy deposition within the test animal. The system can then execute computational models to determine moderator block computational results animal computational results, then generate projected human results for the ion beam based on the moderator block computational results and the animal computational results.
