Cosmic Ray Produced Radioactivity on the Earth

  • Chapter
Kosmische Strahlung II / Cosmic Rays II

Part of the book series: Handbuch der Physik / Encyclopedia of Physics ((PHYSIK 9,volume 9 / 46 / 2))

Abstract

Matter which is exposed to cosmic radiation undergoes characteristic changes in its chemical and isotopic composition. Such irradiated material can be found in many places on earth and belongs to either of two categories:

terrestrial matter bombarded by cosmic ray particles incident on the earth, and extraterrestrial matter bombarded in outer space and subsequently accreted by the earth.
