1MeV electron energy loss in upper layer of AC top.

3MeV electron energy loss in upper layer of AC top.

10MeV electron energy loss in upper layer of AC top.

30MeV proton energy loss in upper layer of AC top.

100MeV proton energy loss in upper layer of AC top.

Conclusion

• Passage of low-energy charged particles through GAMMA-400 gamma-telescope thermal insulation and two-layer plastic scintillation detectors used as anticoincidence shield was modeled

• 84% of 1 MeV electrons were fully absorbed by thermal insulation• Other modeled particles are absobed by the anti-cincidence systems.• Low-energy charge particle detectors should be put outside of thermal

insulation.
