OLTARIS: An Efficient Web-Based Tool for Analyzing Materials Exposed to Space Radiation
The near-Earth space radiation environment includes energetic galactic cosmic rays (GCR), high intensity proton and electron belts, and the potential for solar particle events (SPE). These sources may penetrate shielding materials and deposit significant energy in sensitive electronic devices on board spacecraft and satellites. Material and design optimization methods may be used to reduce the exposure and extend the operational lifetime of individual components and systems. Since laboratory experiments are expensive and may not cover the range of particles and energies relevant for space applications, such optimization may be done computationally with efficient algorithms that include the various constraints placed on the component, system, or mission. In the present work, the web-based tool OLTARIS (On-Line Tool for the Assessment of Radiation in Space) is presented, and the applicability of the tool for rapidly analyzing exposure levels within either complicated shielding geometries or user-defined material slabs exposed to space radiation is demonstrated. An example approach for material optimization is also presented. Slabs of various advanced multifunctional materials are defined and exposed to several space radiation environments. The materials and thicknesses defining each layer in the slab are then systematically adjusted to arrive at an optimal slab configuration
Thin-shell wormholes in Einstein-Maxwell theory with a Gauss-Bonnet term
We study five dimensional thin-shell wormholes in Einstein-Maxwell theory
with a Gauss-Bonnet term. The linearized stability under radial perturbations
and the amount of exotic matter are analyzed as a function of the parameters of
the model. We find that the inclusion of the quadratic correction substantially
widens the range of possible stable configurations, and besides it allows for a
reduction of the exotic matter required to construct the wormholes.Comment: 13 pages, 6 figures; v2: minor changes and new references added.

Thin-shell wormholes from charged black holes in generalized dilaton-axion gravity
This paper discusses a new type of thin-shell wormhole constructed by
applying the cut-and-paste technique to two copies of a charged black hole in
generalized dilaton-axion gravity, which was inspired by low-energy string
theory. After analyzing various aspects of this thin-shell wormhole, we discuss
its stability to linearized spherically symmetric perturbations.Comment: Minor changes, 6 pages, 4 figures. Accepted for publication in Gen.
