Abstract

Tritium was measured in separated phases and in whole rock samples of the Bruderheim chondritic meteorite and in samples of lead and iron material of recovered satellites. Radioactive isotopes of argon were also measured. The tritium and argon radioactivity in the Bruderheim meteorite can be reasonably well explained by the interaction of cosmic ray particles of some thousand million volts energy with the meteoritic material. The tritium content of the recovered satellite material was more than a factor of a hundred too large to be explained by the interactions of cosmic rays or by the interactions of solar flare particles with the satellite. The high tritium content of the satellite material must result from a flux of incident tritium particles that stop in the satellite.

On a egalement mesure la teneur en radioargon dans la meteorite de Bruderheim. La presence de tritium et de radioargon peut fort bien s'expliquer par l'interaction d'elements de la meteorite et de rayons cosmiques corpusculaires ayant une energie de l'ordre du milliard de volts. La teneur en tritium des satellites recuperes etait plus de cent fois trop elevee pour pouvoir etre expliquee par une interaction entre les rayons cosmiques ou les particules provenant d'eruptions solaires et le satellite etudie. La forte teneur en tritium des matieres provenant des satellites est certainement due a un flux incident de particules de tritium qui sont retenues dans le satellite. (author) [Spanish] Se midieron las concentraciones de tritio en fases separadas y en muestras enteras de roca del meteorito condritico de Bruderheim, y en muestras de plomo y de hierro de satelites recuperados. Tambien se determinaron las concentrationes de los isotopos radiactivos del argon. La radiactividad correspondiente al tritio y al argon en el meteorito de Bruderheim se explica satisfactoriament e por la interaccion de particulas de rayos cosmicos de varios miles de milliones de electron-voltios de energia con el material meteoritico. El contenido de tritio del material de los satelites recuperados era mas de cien veces superior al que se puede explicar por la interaccion con el satelite de rayos cosmicos o de particulas procedentes de erupciones solares. La elevada concentracion de tritio hallada en el material del satelite tiene que ser resultado de un flujo de particulas incidentes de tritio que quedan detenidas en el satelite. (author) [Russian] Soderzhanie tritiya bylo izmeren v otdel'nykh chastyakh i tselykh obraztsakh kamnya granulirovannogo meteorita Bruderkhejma, a takzhe v obraztsakh svintsa i zheleza, vzyatykh s vozvrashchennykh sputnikov. Byli takzhe izmereny radioaktivnye izotopy argona. Tritievaya i argonnaya radioaktivnost ' v meteorite Bruderkhejma mozhet byt' vpolne opredelenno ob{sup y}asnena vzaimodejstviem s meteoritnym veshchestvom chastits kosmicheskikh luchej s ehnergiej v neskol'ko tysyach millionov vol't. Soderzhanie tritiya v materiale vozvrashchennogo sputnika bylo bolee na koehffitsient 100, chto yavlyaetsya slishkom bol'shoj velichinoj, chtoby ob{sup y}asnit' ehto vzaimodejstviem kosmicheskikh luchej ili vzaimodejstviem ispuskaemykh solntsem raskalennykh chastits so sputnikom. Vysokoe soderzhanie tritiya v materiale sputnika yavlyaetsya neposredstvennym rezul'tatom bombardirovki potokom sluchajnykh tritievykh chastits, kotorye osedayut v materiale sputnika. (author)}
