Dose rates and quality factors from the MIDAS simulated response in 1996.4 solar minimum calculated using correction coefficients resulting from solar minimum and solar maximum GCR fields. They are compared with the measurements on the lunar surface, which are multiplied by 2. The 3rd column reports simulation results obtained using the Badwar O’Neil model and completely different methodologies than the one reported.
