Description

The production of annihilation radiation by cosmic rays in Al, Fe, Sn and Pb is measured by means of a triggered high-purity germanium (HPGe) detector. The production rate per unit mass is found to be proportional to the square of the atomic number of the material divided by its mass number, with the proportionality constant equal to 8.1(3)e-6/s.g.
