MCICT (Monte-Carlo Internal Charging Tool) is a Python based internal charging analysis tool with the following models/components:
- Arbitrary 1D layered geometry, in slab or cylindrical shape
- Flexible incident environment specification
- Geant4 based particle transport for charge and dose deposition calculations
- Classical charging physics model, aka DICTAT model
- New ONERA physics model
MCICT was developed under the JCAT project for ESA, in supporting the JUICE mission development.
