AMPHITHEATER IEMN, VILLENEUVE D’ASCQ
Organized by: F. Da Pieve (IASB-BIRA), E. Botek (IASB-BIRA), F. Cleri (U. Lille)
A 1-day specialist meeting dedicated to the modelling and simulation of radiation damage and its effects on human health in space travel
Monte Carlo simulations will be presented for a mission on Mars at mid-latitudes, for an interplanetary travel, as well as ab-initio quantum chemistry/Molecular Dynamics simulations on water/DNA targets and lessons learnt from experiments
