Abstract:Cosmic-ray-produced10Be (t1/2 = 1.6 × 106 years) and36Cl (t1/2 = 3.0 × 105 years) have been measured in the Apollo 15 long core for study of galactic cosmic ray production profiles using tandem accelerator mass spectrometry. From these experiments, the half-attenuation length for10Be production and36Cl production were calculated to be 120 g/cm2 and 132 g/cm2 (150–400 g/cm2 region). The measured half-attenuation length for10Be is slightly longer than that predicted by the Reedy-Arnold theoretical model. The flatter and somewhat deeper maximum seen in the36Cl profile compared to the10Be,26Al and53Mn profiles can be explained by production from secondary thermal neutrons on35Cl.
