Scientific paper

Numerical simulations are used to show that solar wind ion deflection by strong lunar magnetic anomalies can produce local increases, as well as decreases, in the implantation rate of solar wind hydrogen. Model simulations suggest that the ability of magnetic anomalies to shield the surface from incident ions increases with the angle of incidence and therefore for most particle sources, with selenographic latitude. The possibility that relatively strong anomalies can provide significant protection of materials and men against major solar flare particle events is found to be unlikely.
