Study of cosmogenic activation in copper for rare event search experiments
European Physical Journal C: Particles and Fields, 2021 Rare event search experiments using germanium detectors are performed in underground laboratories to minimize the background induced by cosmic rays. However, the cosmogenic activation of cupreous detector components on the ground generates long half-life

Nature Does the Averaging—In-Situ Produced 10Be, 21Ne, and 26Al in a Very Young River Terrace
Geosciences, 2020 The concentrations of long-lived in-situ produced cosmogenic nuclides (10Be, 21Ne, 26Al) in quartz obtained from a very recent (~200 a; based on 14C data on organic material) terrace of the Swakop River in Namibia are nearly constant throughout a 322 cm ...

Quaternary Science Advances, 2022 The Adélie Basin is a relatively small (∼1600 km2), semi-enclosed continental shelf bathymetric depression located adjacent to the Wilkes Subglacial Basin, a basin underlying a sector of the East Antarctic Ice Sheet that contains ∼3–4 m sea level ...

Cosmogenic nuclides in the Brenham pallasite [PDF]
Meteoritics & Planetary Science, 2002 Abstract— Cosmic‐ray‐produced (cosmogenic) nuclides were studied in fragments of the Brenham pallasite, a large stony iron meteorite. The contents of light noble gases (He, Ne, and Ar) and long‐lived radionuclides (10Be, 26Al, 36Cl, and 53Mn), produced by nuclear reactions with cosmic rays, were measured in the separated metal and olivine phases from ...

The CAIRN method: automated, reproducible calculation of catchment-averaged denudation rates from cosmogenic nuclide concentrations [PDF]
Earth Surface Dynamics, 2016 We report a new program for calculating catchment-averaged denudation rates from cosmogenic nuclide concentrations. The method (Catchment-Averaged denudatIon Rates from cosmogenic Nuclides: CAIRN) bundles previously reported production scaling and ...

New Last Glacial Maximum ice thickness constraints for the Weddell Sea Embayment, Antarctica [PDF]
The Cryosphere, 2019 We describe new Last Glacial Maximum (LGM) ice thickness constraints for three locations spanning the Weddell Sea Embayment (WSE) of Antarctica. Samples collected from the Shackleton Range, Pensacola Mountains, and the Lassiter Coast constrain the LGM ...

Reconciling the apparent absence of a Last Glacial Maximum alpine glacial advance, Yukon Territory, Canada, through cosmogenic beryllium-10 and carbon-14 measurements [PDF]
Geochronology, 2022 We present a new in situ produced cosmogenic beryllium-10 and carbon-14 nuclide chronology from two sets (outer and inner) of alpine glacier moraines from the Grey Hunter massif of southern Yukon Territory, Canada. The chronology of moraines deposited by

One million years of glaciation and denudation history in west Greenland
Nature Communications, 2017 Erosion rates and ice cover extent of present day fjords and summit plateau landscapes beyond the last deglaciation are virtually unknown. Here, the authors constrain the long-term denudation rates and glaciation history in west Greenland based on ...
