Cosmogenic Samarium-150 and Calcium-41 in Norton County
Though brecciated, the Norton County (NC) aubrite contains little or no trapped noble gas and has been widely assumed to have a simple if unusually long cosmic ray exposure (CRE), 115 Ma. One goal of this ongoing study of NC has been to search for signs of pre-irradiation as proposed. One may test for multiple stages of CRE by comparing thermal neutron fluences inferred from Ca-41 (t(sub 1/2)=0.1 Ma) activities, which reflect irradiation conditions over the last approximately 0.3 Ma, with those inferred from (stable) Sm isotope abundances, which integrate over the entire CRE history. In the case of a one-stage exposure the fluences should agree. We focus on these particular comparisons because the properties of NC - its long CRE exposure, relatively large size, and low iron concentration - all promised high production rates and ease of measurement. Previously, we reported on several cosmogenic nuclides in NC. Here we present new Ca-41 data, Sm isotope measurements, and comparisons with model calculations of cosmic ray production.

Exposure histories of the lunar meteorites - MAC88104, MAC88105, Y791197, and Y86032
Four lunar meteorites were analyzed for the cosmogenic radionuclides Be-10, Al-26, Cl-36, and Ca-41. Histories of exposure to cosmic rays were modelled in terms of two-stage irradiations, each with a long first stage on the moon, lasting a time T sub 2pi greater than 5 Ma at a burial depth d sub 2pi(g/sq cm), followed by a second stage in space, i.e., the transit time between the moon and the earth, lasting a time T sub 4pi (Ma) in a body of typical metereological size. It is inferred that the production rate is of the order of 5/Ma and the arrival rate worldwide is about 3,000,000 meteorites/Ma. It is concluded that each impact event large enough to produce lunar meteorites sends a large number of them to the earth.
