Abstract
We present a method of conversion of the lunar neutron counting rate measured by the Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter (LRO) Lunar Exploration Neutron Detector (LEND) instrument collimated neutron detectors, to water equivalent hydrogen (WEH) in the top â¼1Â m layer of lunar regolith. Polar maps of the Moon's inferred hydrogen abundance are presented and discussed.
