Scientific paper

An attempt is made to simulate the various natural processes that take place or, in principle, might have taken place on the lunar surface. To this end, lunar regolith was heated in vacuo to temperatures ranging from 50 to 580 C, and the sample's surface was bombarded by protons and Ar(+) ions. Photoelectron X-ray spectra were obtained with a VIEE-15 photoelectron X-ray spectrometer. The results of reduction studies showed that daytime heating of the lunar surface may well facilitate reduction of elements in lunar regolith. This holds also for bombardment by cosmic-radiation protons.
