Apollo 17, Carbon-14, Gardening, Nuclides: Cosmogenic
Scientific paper
Due to their long exposure times, lunar soils and rocks provide a continuous record of galactic (GCR) and solar-cosmic-ray (SCR) intensities. Lunar cores are very useful in studies of the production of nuclides by GCR particles in very large objects. Lunar samples also contain especially good records of SCR effects and variations of SCR fluxes in the past. We report on new 14C measurements obtained as a function of depth in the Apollo 17 drive tube core, 76001. This core was described as undisturbed by NASA documentation. The core was collected at a break in the slope of North Massif, on an 11o slope. Results are shown in the figure and compared to our earlier experimental results on the apparently undisturbed Apollo 15 cores 15001-15006 and 15008. The results show a disturbance of the core data in the top few g/cm^2 of this core.
