Scattering function for lunar ENAs: Observations from SARA on board Chandrayaan-1
Abstract
When solar wind particles hit the lunar surface, a large amount is backscattered as neutral hydrogen. The backscattered ENAs exhibit a distinct angular distribution, depending on the solar zenith angle. We analysed ENAs, measured by SARA on board Chandrayaan-1, to determine a mathematical description of this scatter distribution as a function of the solar zenith angle and the observation angles.
