Simplified Galactic Cosmic Ray Simulation (SimGCRSim)
General Considerations
For some users, it is not necessary to irradiate the samples with the Full GCR Simulation, so we have prepared a Simplified GCR Simulation that uses only 6 beams and 5 different ions including protons at two different energies. Running the Simplified GCR Simulation requires about 20 minutes.
