Description

The measured enhancement of cosmogenic isotope abundance in dated terrestrial samples for the time interval of 30,000-40,000 BP is analyzed. Possible sources of the phenomena are suggested. The most probable cause is found to be a local cosmic ray source in the interstellar medium. The experimental data can be explained by use of the diffusion model of cosmic ray propagation for a point-like instantaneous source together with the model of cosmic ray generation in the vicinity of a shock wave from a supernova.
