In this study, potential alternatives to the standard aluminium shielding approach are assessed by Monte Carlo simulations and promising candidates are manufactured and characterized by radiation tests includingproton and electron tests.en620Characterization of novel lightweight radiation shielding materials for space applicationsposter
