摘要
We performed stepwise heating experiments for determination of the two stable isotope ratios of argon fractions and total concentrations of the three stable isotopes Ar-36, Ar-38 and Ar-40 in lunar regolith acquired from the Apollo 11, Apollo 12 and Apollo16 missions. Also the concentration of in situ formed radiogenic Ar-40 was estimated on the basis of known ages and potassium concentrations determined by isotope dilution method. The observed excess of Ar-40 concentration is interpreted to be due to variable (over geological time) flux of solar energetic particles which were implanted into the material at the Moon surface.
