The nature of the heterogeneity of the isotopic composition of xenon in meteorites, terrestrial and lunar rocks

Creators

Description

This paper discusses protogenic or solar xenon, the unique component of the primary gas cloud. Changes in the isotopic composition of primitive xenon are caused by the fission process of U-238 and Pu-244, and Cm-248, and by the B-decay of I-129 as well as by the formation of spalogenic xenon during the interaction of cosmic rays with barium and other elements. This model is confirmed by the numerous isotopic data obtained by many researchers, for meteorites, lunar and terrestrial rocks
