MRADSIM (Matter-RADiation Interactions SIMulations)

Abstract

Matter-RADiation interaction SIMulation (MRADSIM) is an innovative modular software toolkit developed to simulate the effects of radiation on electronic components, human beings and various materials. It incorporates innovative features aimed at enhancing parametric precision, reducing computational time, and introducing supplementary functions for tailored calculations across diverse applications including the applications required for space missions. Notably, MRADSIM is distinguished as the pioneering simulation toolkit to integrate cutting-edge Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning (AI/ML) algorithms, with the primary objective of effectively recognizing potential radiation-induced issues and facilitating the implementation of mitigation strategies to avert catastrophic failures in mission-critical systems, whether terrestrial or space-based. The distinctive attributes of MRADSIM, coupled with its early adoption by researchers from the National Institute for Nuclear Physics of Italy (INFN), significantly contribute to the toolkits added value.
