Abstract

MOST investigations of cosmic ray nuclear interaction effects in meteorites have been aimed at deducing information on the history of cosmic radiation or on the history of the irradiated solid material1. It is the purpose of this communication, in part, to use such investigations for the determination of an approximate half-life.
