Abstract

Many aspects of the interplanetary radiation environment can be simulated using high-energy charged-particle beams at ground based accelerator facilities. Some of the criteria and parameters used to define science requirements for such simulations are discussed. Some results from a ground-based radiation transport experiment are used to illustrate these considerations.
