Résumé

Pour déterminer 44 éléments dans des échantillons lunaires on a fait appel à l'analyse instrumentale par activation neutronique et à l'analyse par activation neutronique utilisant des séparations chimiques et la spectrométrie gamma à haute résolution. Si on utilise ces méthodes conjointement à la spectrométrie de masse à étincelle, on détermine plus de 56 éléments avec une certitude moyenne de 10%. On compare les résultats de l'analyse de sols lunaires rapportés par Apollo 11, 12, 14, 15 et 16 et par Luna 16.
