Scientific paper

The long-term radiation shielding properties of common extraterrestrial materials are poorly known, although these materials are the most likely structural elements on airless worlds such as the Moon. The authors report on radiation dose profiles in meteorites and lunar soil cores using specific minerals as naturally-occurring "dosimeters". They find that radiation profiles are fairly flat in typical meteoroid bodies (<85 cm radius) and drop by only about 40% through about 2.5 m of lunar soil. These profiles are produced by primary Galactic cosmic rays and the secondary proton cascade but with a significant contribution by secondary neutrons at depths of about 2 m (300 g/cm2).
