Abstract

Targets of silicon and silicon dioxide were irradiated with spallation neutrons to simulate the production of long-lived radionuclides in the surface of the Earth. Gamma-ray spectroscopy was used to measure ⁷Be and ²²Na, and accelerator mass spectrometry was used to measure ¹⁰Be, ¹⁴C, and ²⁶A1. The measured ratios of these nuclides are compared with calculated ratios and with ratios from other simulations and agree well with ratios inferred from terrestrial samples.
