Cosmic Rays and the Askaryan Effect Reveal Subsurface Structure and Buried Ice on the Moon

Abstract We present the first full‐wavelength numerical simulations of the electric field generated by cosmic ray impacts into the Moon. Billions of cosmic rays fall onto the Moon every year. Ultra‐high energy cosmic ray impacts produce secondary particle cascades within the regolith and subsequent...
