Abstract: | Highly sensitive nondestructive HPGe gamma-ray spectrometry was used for the analysis of the cosmogenic (26Al) and primordial (40K, 238U, and 232Th) radionuclides in the Oued Awlitis 001 and Galb Inal lunar meteorites. The measured 26Al activities were very different (84.0?±?4.8 dpm/kg vs. 8.4?±?1.2 dpm/kg, respectively), mainly because of different cosmic-ray exposure ages of the investigated meteorites. The pre-atmospheric radii were 5?±?1 cm and 11?±?2 cm, respectively, which would result in total pre-atmospheric masses in the range of 0.7–2.5 kg and 7–23 kg, respectively. |
