Scientific paper

Results are presented from noble gas analyses of the 60018 and 65315 lunar anorthositic breccias and from experiments designed to determine whether the atmospheric contamination is the only source of the terrestriallike Xe in lunar samples (and, if so, what is the nature of the contaminating process). Results clearly show that the anorthositic material was contaminated both by Kr and Xe from the atmosphere. It is suggested that irreversible adsorption of terrestrial Kr and Xe is likely to take place during crushing, when mechanical, thermal, and electromagnetic energy is supplied. No indication was found for indigenous lunar Xe.
