The researchers whose trusted networks rank it highest, strongest advocate first. Every researcher gets a different order.

Solar Forcing for CMIP6 (v3.1) (2016, methodology): “A similar result can be obtained with the PLANETOCOSMIC (Desorgher et al., 2005) based on the GEANT package.”
Dynamics of the Earth’s Particle Radiation Environment (2009, methodology): “Modern models are based on a full Monte Carlo simulation of the atmospheric cascade, including all the secondaries (Desorgher et al. 2005; Usoskin et al. 2004; Usoskin and Kovaltsov 2006; Velinov and Mishev 2007).”
Cosmic ray induced ionization in the atmosphere: Full modeling and practical applications (2006, methodology): “One model (see the full description in [O’Brien, 2005]) is based on an analytical approximation of the atmospheric cascade, while the other is based on aMonte Carlo simulation of the atmospheric cascade [Usoskin et al., 2004a;Desorgher et al., 2005].”
Cosmic Ray Induced Ion Production in the Atmosphere (2008, methodology): “It simulates the electromagnetic and hadronic interaction of energetic particles with the Earth, Mars and Mercury (Desorgher et al. 2005; Dartnell et al. 2007; Gurtner et al. 2005; Gurtner et al. 2006), and an extension to Jupiter, Saturn and their satellites is under development.”
Energetic Particle Influence on the Earth’s Atmosphere (2015, methodology): “One is the ATMOCOSMICS/ PLANETOCOSMICS model developed by the Bern group (Desorgher et al. 2005) on the basis of the GEANT-4 simulation package.”
