On the production of 7Be and 32P in the air and the use of their activity ratio

  • 1. Toulouse-3 Univ., 31 (France)

Description

A study of the values of the 7 Be/ 32 P activity ratio, measured during several years by means of short time samplings, shows that the production efficiency of 32 P by cosmic rays in the atmosphere has very likely been underestimated and that one should consider a corrected value of about 37 for the ratio between the production rates of 7 Be and 32 P. Moreover, the theoretical studies by simulation on models and the experimental results obtained at Toulouse show the important influence of vertical movements of air upon the variation of the 7 Be/ 32 P ratio in the troposphere.
