Comparison of results from the ICCHIBAN-3 experiment and current status of the ICCHIBAN-5 Experiment

The ICCHIBAN-3 experiment for active space radiation detectors was conducted in February 2003. Five active radiation detectors from four countries, plus a ground-based charged particle spectrometer and several passive detectors were exposed to heavy ion beams at the NIRS HIMAC. The heavy ion beams consisted of 800 MeV/n 28Si, 500 MeV/n 56Fe and 400 MeV/n 12C. The comparison results from active detector exposures during the ICCHIBAN-3 experiment are reported. \nThe ICCHIBAN-5 experiment for active space radiation detectors was performed in February 2004. Six active detectors from five countries were exposed to heavy ion beams in Biology Exposure Room of HIMAC. Wide (10 cm diameter), uniform beams were used to ensure that the entire sensitive area of each detector was exposed. The current status of the analysis of these exposures are presented.
