TL;DR
This paper compares cosmic ray fluxes over aircrafts and in Bucaramanga, Colombia, revealing significant differences, and analyzes Cherenkov photon contributions to radiation exposure in the UV-C band.
Contribution
It provides new simulation data on cosmic ray flux variations over aircrafts and identifies the UV-C band as a major contributor to Cherenkov radiation effects.
Findings
Significant differences in proton and neutron fluxes between aircraft and ground.
Major Cherenkov photon energy contribution in the UV-C band.
Implications for radiation exposure during flights.
Abstract
Incident cosmic ray fluxes over flying aircrafts are compared with those in Bucaramanga, Colombia and very significant differences are observed for proton and neutron fluxes. We also obtained that major contributions in the deposited energy by Cherenkov photons on blood plasma is in the UV-C band.
