Scientific paper

Neutron spectroscopy has the capability to map and characterize water ice deposits on the surface of Ganymede, a primary science goal for the Jupiter Ganymede Orbiter (JGO). The challenge to carrying out neutron spectroscopy at Ganymede is compensating for the detrimental effects of the intense charged particle radiation environment. To facilitate this, a solar energetic particle event observed by the Lunar Prospector (LP) Neutron Spectrometer (NS), which had similar magnitude and energy dependence to the Ganymede proton environment, is used as the basis for modeling the performance of an LP-style NS for JGO.
