Simulation for two shields with R = 10 mm and R = 100 mm deflecting iron ions approaching from the left, with energies of 200 MeV/nucleon (red) and 2 GeV/nucleon (black). The shields are located 5 km and 10 km to the left of the spacecraft, with surface areas of 10 × 10 m2, slightly larger than the cross section of the spacecraft.
