Abstract
We report the first observation of an energy dependence in the titanium, vanadium, and chromium isotopic abundances in cosmic rays. The observations were made in the 100–500 MeV/nucleon energy interval using data from the Cosmic Ray Isotope Spectrometer on the ACE spacecraft. The ^(51)Cr and ^(49)V isotopes in cosmic rays are produced by fragmentation of heavier cosmic ray nuclides and decay only by electron capture. The observations indicate that electron-capture decay occurred primarily at the lower energies measured, and that there is a resulting energy dependence in the abundances of these isotopes and their decay products.
