摘要：

The Dynamic Albedo of Neutrons (DAN) instrument, a neutron scattering instrument currently being constructed by lKI, is a component of the science payload of the 2009 Mars Science Laboratory (MSL) mission. Based on simulations using the Monte-Carlo N-Particle Extended (MCNPX) particle physics code, DAN is able to measure bulk water content and to detect variations in water concentration up to similar to 50 cm beneath the ground surface, assuming perfect detector performance. Data from DAN, combined with measurements from other instruments on MSL, allow derivation of profiles of water content to a depth of similar to 15 cm. (c) 2008 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
