Abstract: | With a newly developed method fluorine and the other halogens have been measured in terrestrial, meteoritic and lunar samples. As a valuable byproduct lithium was determined also via teh reactions6Li (n,α)t→16O (t, n)18F. From our measurements the following new values for the “cosmic” abundance are derived (in atoms per 106 Si atoms) F 750, Cl 4350, Br 8.83, and I 1.14. We could show that the Li/Be or Li/Zr ratios can be used to estimate the ratio of the Mg-silicates to the group of refractory elements and in course to calculate the bulk composition of the Moon and other planetary objects. |
