High-Resolution Measurements of Galactic Cosmic-Ray Neon, Magnesium and Silicon Isotopes

Creators

Abstract

The individual isotopes of galactic cosmic-ray Ne, Mg, and Si at ~0.20 amu. Our results suggest that the cosmic ray source is enriched in ^(22)Ne, ^(25)Mg, and ^(26)Mg when compared to the solar system. In particular, we find (^(25)Mg + ^(26)Mg)/^(24)Mg = 0.49(+0.23, -0.14) compared with the solar system value of 0.27, suggesting that the cosmic-ray source and solar system material were synthesized under different conditions.

We are grateful to the Heckman/Greiner group, including Hank Crawford, and the Bevalac staff at Lawrence Berkeley Laboratory for making the heavy-ion calibrations possible. We have benefited from discussions of nucleosynthesis with W.A. Fowler and S.E. Woosley, and discussions of cosmic-ray propagation with M.E. Wiedenbeck.
