Helium-3 is retained in the lunar regolith due to solar wind implantation and low thermal escape

Is it true that helium-3 is retained in the lunar regolith due to solar wind implantation and low thermal escape?

Yes. Helium-3 and other solar wind volatiles are successfully implanted into the lunar regolith and retained due to surface physical properties and low thermal escape.

Verdict: SUPPORTED · 3 sources for, 0 against · Last checked

The analysis

The retrieved literature directly supports the claim by discussing solar wind implantation processes, activation energies, and the resulting retention of light volatiles like hydrogen and helium-3 in the lunar regolith. Papers [0], [1], and [2] specifically address solar wind implantation and retention mechanisms, while none of the provided papers refute the statement.
