Abstract: Alpha Particle X-Ray Spectrometer (APXS) is one of the payloads of Chang'e-3 Yutu Lunar Rover for China's Exploration Project. Based on the raw data processing, which acquired by APXS, the accumulated characteristic X-ray count rate spectrum were obtained. After the data filtering with wavelet filter, the influences of radioactivity fluctuation were eliminated. By using the energy calibration formula, the lunar regolith's elemental characteristic X-ray energy spectrum was obtained. Through an analysis, the elemental composition of the lunar regolith at the lunar rover landing point consists of Si, Ca, Al, Mg, K, P, S, Fe, Ti, Ni, Cr, Mo, Sr, Y, Zr, and Nb. This result provides certain favorable parameter constraints for the research on the lunar crust geological evolution.

Key words: elemental characteristic X-ray, lunar surface element, Chang'e-3, characteristic X-ray spectrum
