A variety of radiation detectors and instruments have been deployed to characterize the radiation environment in low and high Earth orbit, lunar orbit, Mars orbit and on the surface of Mars. Here we discuss the testing and calibration of these detectors using HIMAC ion beams.

Key words: HIMAC (Heavy Ion Medical Accelerator in Chiba); space radiation detector; ICCHIBAN project (InterComparison for Cosmic-ray with Heavy Ion Beams At NIRS); radiation protection; calibration by accelerator beam
