JGO/RPWI/MIME Experiment Objectives (1 / 2) Ø Provide reliable/accurate measurements of total plasma density & thermal electron temperature, in Jupiter system environment (solar wind included); Ø Contribute to the study of the interactions between solar wind & Jupiter’s Magnetosphere, in particular around Ganymède and Callisto; Ø Give insight into thermal coupling between neutral & charged particles; Ø Detect plasma boundaries and identify plasma regimes;
JGO/RPWI/MIME Experiment Objectives (2 / 2) Ø Enable self and/or mutual impedances of LP-PWI and possibly RAPWI electric antennae to be determined as a function of plasma environment; Ø Determine the effective length of these antennae (then allow E-field component of waves to be calibrated); Ø Possibly measure the physical/deployed length of antennae; Ø Contribute to onboard calibrations of LP-PWI, and maybe SCM and RA -PWI (calibration signal can be delivered) cross-calibration between sensors.
MIME Principle of Measurements A sinusoidal signal of known amplitude & frequency, coming from a current (or voltage) generator, is applied to antenna probe or wire shield, by short pulses (some ms), while induced voltage (or current) is simultaneously measured. Antenna impedance Z = V / I is a function of frequency & plasma conditions. Transmitted frequency varies step by step in a frequency bandwidth that includes the plasma frequency expected at Jupiter’s Magnetosphere (Ne proportional to Fpe 2). Impedance spectra are computed onboard by FFT/DFT algorithms. Plasma parameters, such as density and electron temperature, are derived from variations of both impedance modulus and phase close to Fpe.
MIME Principle of Measurements (cont’d) Ø Thermal electron temperature Te shall be determined provided 2 λD < L < a few tens λD , where L is the tip-to-tip antenna length and the plasma λD Debye Length Ø For the total electron density Ne, L must be higher than λD and can be higher than a few tens λD depending on the onboard FFT frequency resolution Ne can be determined from resonance and/or wave signatures at the plasma frequency Fpe, the upper-hybrid frequency Fuh and Berstein mode frequencies Fqn As a bonus, the magnetic field strength B can be derived from the electron cyclotron frequency Fce and its gyroharmonics n. Fce Ne (cm-3) = Fpe 2 (k. Hz) / 81 Fce (Hz) = 28 B (n. T) Fuh = (Fpe + Fce)1/2 Fpe (k. Hz) = 6687 Te 1/2 (e. V) / λD (cm)

RPWI/MIME Elements MIME may be composed of the following elements: • The electronic board hosted in RA (it would allow MIME to be connected to every electric/magnetic sensors); • Current probes hosted by E-field antenna deployment boxes (as in Bepi. Colombo/MEFISTO ones); • EGSE including data processing software.
MIME possible working modes current injected on LP/PWI spheres, voltage is measured 3 cases send calibration signal to a selected sensor: LP/PWI or SCM voltage injected on boom external shield, current/voltage is measured • V 1 and V 2 (2 channels) • V 1 - V 2 (1 channel) • • I 1 and I 2 (2 channels) I 1 - I 2 (1 channel) V 1 - V 2 (1 channel) I 1 - I 2 and V 1 - V 2 (2 channels) “I " measured by MIME current probe “V " measured by LP/PWI
MIME Measurement Point Definition A MIME measurement point contains 3 pieces of information: • Reference spectrum (no transmission) • Power spectrum • Phase spectrum from which Ne, Te, antenna impedances… are derived on ground. Note: to increase SNR, each frequency may be transmitted n times depending on MIME working modes, and averages will therefore be computed onboard.
