Abstract
This paper describes the calculation of the proton upset cross section by a Monte Carlo method (SEUSIM code). The computation combines heavy ion experimental data and the results of our modelisation of the inel astic nuclear reaction (NUREAC code). We improved the SEUSIM code by i ntroducing P+Si elastic scattering (ELASTIC code). The importance of t he contribution of elastic scattering in SEU rate prediction is discus sed.
