Exposure of rocks and regolith to solar (SCR) and galactic cosmic rays (GCR) at the Moon's surface results in the production of 'cosmogenic' deuterium and noble gas nuclides at a rate that depends on a complex set of parameters, such as the energy …

The hydrogen (D/H) isotope ratio is a key tracer for the source of planetary water. However, secondary processes such as solar wind implantation and cosmic ray induced spallation reactions have modified the primordial D/H signature of ‘water’ in all …
