Abstract

We describe a concept for an instrument to measure the thickness of the ice shell on a planetary body such as Jupiter’s moon Europa. Unlike a high powered and massive device such as an ice-penetrating radar, the instrument would be a passive receiver of a naturally occurring signal generated by interactions of deep penetrating cosmic ray neutrinos. We discuss the basic concept and consider the instrument design requirements from the perspective of a NASA Outer Planet Orbiter Mission. We show results of simulations, compare signal-to-noise estimates, and examine possible components and configurations for the antenna, receiver, and electronics. We note some options that can be used to reduce mass and power. Finally, we present a list of issues that would need further study to produce a more concrete design.

Abstract

The shadowing of cosmic ray primaries by the the moon and sun was observed by the MINOS far detector at a depth of \unit[2070]{mwe} using 83.54 million cosmic ray muons accumulated over 1857.91 live-days. The shadow of the moon was detected at the \unit[5.6]{$\sigma$} level and the shadow of the sun at the \unit[3.8]{$\sigma$} level using a log-likelihood search in celestial coordinates. The moon shadow was used to quantify the absolute astrophysical pointing of the detector to be 0.17\pm 0.12^\circ. Hints of Interplanetary Magnetic Field effects were observed in both the sun and moon shadow., Comment: Submitted to AstroParticle Physics
