The hypothesis that bombardment of lunar soil with solar-wind protons might form hydroxyl (OH) and perhaps HOH has been tested by experiments with Apollo 16 (highlands) and Apollo 17 (mare) soils. Pre-dried soils (500°C) were bombarded with 1.1keV protons and deuterons and provide unambiguous evidence for the formation of OH or OD in both samples. This hypothesis further predicts the formation of...
