Synthesis of Spherical Minimum-Weight Proton ShieldsA systematic method has been developed for minimizing spherical shield weights for protection against proton radiation, including secondary neutron production, subject to various specified dose constraints. Variational methods are applied to a radiation model yielding the choice of optimum shielding materials and their mixtures, together with a prescription for their disposition in a multilayer spherical shield.
