The X-ray sensitivity of the low energy proton channels in the Low Energy Charged Particle (LECP) experiment and its directional measurements determined whether X-rays from Jupiter can be recognized as additional flux above background as Voyager 1 approached the planet. Between about 230 and about 100 R(J), a statistically significant count rate was detected interpreted as X-rays and/or neutral particles. Such an X-ray flux leads to estimates of precipitating electrons over the Jovian polar caps which are 200 times larger than over observed electron fluxes in the Io plasma torus.
