In the production of ³H, ⁷Be, and ²²Na by interactions of cosmic-ray particles with silicon can produce radioactive backgrounds in detectors used to search for rare events. Through controlled irradiation of silicon CCDs and wafers with a neutron beam that mimics the cosmic-ray neutron spectrum, followed by direct counting, we determined that the production rate from cosmic-ray neutrons at sea level is (112 ± 24) atoms/( kg day ) for ³H, (8.1 ± 1.9) atoms/( kg day ) for ⁷Be, and (43.0 ± 7.2) atoms/( kg day ) for ²²Na . Complementing these results with the current best estimates of activation cross sections for cosmic-ray particles other than neutrons, we obtain a total sea-level cosmic-ray production rate of (124 ± 25) atoms/(kg day) for ³H, (9.4 ± 2.0) atoms/( kg day ) for ⁷Be, and (49.6 ± 7.4) atoms/( kg day ) for ²²Na. These measurements will help constrain background estimates and determine the maximum time that silicon-based detectors can remain unshielded during detector fabrication before cosmogenic backgrounds impact the sensitivity of next-generation rare-event searches.
