International Journal of Astronomy and Astrophysics, 13, 112-139. doi: 10.4236/ijaa.2023.132007. Abstract: "Mars data presents a collection of startling and seemly contradictory isotopic data: a glaring excess of the two radiogenic isotopes 129Xe/132Xe @ 2.5 and 40Ar/36Ar @ 3000 enabled identification of MM (Mars Meteorites) because they are so different than any other major Solar System reservoir. Mars appears to have lost an original atmosphere of pressure 1 bar or greater, yet the ratio 14N/15N indicates only a loss of a few millibar by Solar Wind Erosion. The LPARE (Large Planet Altering R-process Event) hypothesis attempts to explain these major isotopic puzzles at Mars by postulating that two massive, anomalous thermonuclear explosions, rich in R-process physics, occurred over the surface of Northern Mars in the past, approximately 500 million years ago, and that these explosions created the 129Xe/132Xe excess, and the accompanying intense neutron bombardment of Mars atmosphere and regolith created the 40Ar/36Ar excess off of potassium in the surface rocks.
