The paper discusses the use of Apollo lunar soils and synthetic lunar soils in radiation experiments to study the shielding properties of lunar materials against space radiation. It also mentions the use of lunar soil simulants and the results of two phases of experiments. The study concludes that the shielding properties of lunar materials can be modeled and compared with experimental data. This document presents a study on the use of lunar soil as shielding against space radiation. The research includes the analysis of various lunar soil samples and synthetic simulants to determine their effectiveness in reducing radiation dose. The study also compares these materials with traditional shielding materials like aluminum, graphite, and polyethylene. This paper evaluates the radiation shielding properties of lunar soil and simulants against heavy ion beams and solar particle events. It uses Apollo samples and synthetic simulants like JSC-1, JSC-1A, MLS-1, MLS-2, NU-LHT-1, Claudia, and Hap. The study measures energy deposition and extends results using a fragmentation model. This paper evaluates the radiation shielding effectiveness of lunar soil, synthetic soil glasses, and soil simu
