Evolution of Earth's Noble Gases: Consequences of Assuming Hydrodynamic Loss Driven by Giant Impact

A simple analytic model of hydrodynamic escape is applied to atmospheric loss from Earth under conditions that are unproven but could plausibly have existed following deposition of thermal energy by a giant Moon-forming impact. Primordial xenon in the primary (pre-impact) atmosphere is readily fract...
