COSMIC-RAY-INDUCED STABLE AND RADIOACTIVE NUCLIDES IN METEORITES
Technical Report
·
OSTI ID:4693821
A discussion of meteoritic twpes is followed by presentation of the results of radiochemical and mass-spectrometric investigations on iron meteorites. From the amounts of cosmogenic stable and radioactive species present, conclusions can be drawn concerning the duration of cosmic ray exposure, the spectrum and intensity of the incident cosmic ray flux, the preatmospheric size and shape of the meteorites, and the terrestrial history of these objects. A discussion of some, as yet unanswered, questions concerning meteorites is presented. (auth)
