Abstract

The lunar soil is an integral detector of cosmic rays (CRs) of different origin (Solar and Galactic). Analysis of the deep profiles of cosmogenic isotopes (14C, 41Ca, 36Cl, 10Be, 26Al, 53Mn) allows us to restore the intensity of CR on time scales of 3–4 half-lives of the corresponding isotope. To coordinate data on 10Be, it is required (in addition to the average flux of CRs) the presence of an additional source of accelerated particles with hard spectrum. Such a source can be, for example, an outbreak of a nearby SN 2–3 million years ago.
