Scientific paper

Processes leading to gamma-ray emission by lunar and planetary matter are reviewed. A technique is described for conducting experiments making use of a particle accelerator to simulate this emission, and some results of such experiments are presented. Gamma-ray emission cross sections are determined for high-energy proton bombardment of rock-forming elements and compounds, including C, Fe, Al, Fe2O3, Al2O3, SiO2, and basalt. The possibility is considered of employing the data from experimental simulations as an aid in interpreting results obtained by interplanetary space probes.
