HZETRN propagates secondary neutrons and any of their reaction products with charge Z ≤ 2.
“The radiation transport code, HZETRN [13,16,17], used to calculate reference field quantities, propagates secondary neutrons and any of their reaction products with charge of Z ≤ 2.”
From NASA's first ground-based Galactic Cosmic Ray Simulator: Enabling a new era in space radiobiology research (2020) · cites this paper as [17]
The Results (p. not available) describe HZETRN transporting neutrons and light ions, including protons, ²H, ³He, and ⁴He. The Conclusions (p. not available) say coupling neutron transport to low-energy light-ion transport is a first-order approximation recommended for use, not an unqualified feature of every HZETRN calculation. The paper also does not establish that *any* neutron reaction product with Z ≤ 2 is propagated. (LLM, conf=0.84)

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
