Dr. Bob Reedy’s research uses the products of cosmic-ray interactions to study matter and radiation in the solar system. Cosmic-ray-produced nuclides are used to study the recent histories of interplanetary energetic particles and of lunar samples, meteorites, and terrestrial-surface samples. Gamma rays were used to determine the elemental composition of the top meter of Mars and the Moon as well as 4/Vesta and 1/Ceres.
