Abstract
⺠We model distributions of electron and ion flux and sulfuric acid hydrate for Europa. ⺠We find high correlation between acid hydrate production and sulfur ion flux. ⺠Electron energy and sulfur ion flux working together dominate acid production. ⺠Regions of low energy and/or sulfur ion flux exhibit the least radiolytic processing. ⺠Deposits in these regions are likely to more closely represent ocean composition.
