Scientific paper

The effective yield from a planetary regolith composed of approximately spherical grains is characterized in light of expressions for laboratory sputtering data. In the case of a fully-exposed regolith, the effective yield is of the order of 0.4-1 times the measured yield at normal incidence; the range of variation for this value depends on the nature of the sputtering process employed. These results are applicable to such problems as the magnetospheric plasma sputtering of the outer solar system's icy satellites.
