摘要
We measured thick-target yields of I-126, I-128, I-130 from bombardments of natural Te targets with 15-, 30-, 45-, and 50-MeV protons, together with iodine production cross sections for 1.85- and 5.0-GeV protons. Using these data, we have estimated the relative cosmic-ray induced production of Xe-126, Xe-128, and Xe-130 in Te ores. These quantities are significantly different from those used previously in a determination of the ratio of the double-beta decay half-lives of Te-130 and Te-128, and as a result the cosmic-ray correction is smaller than previously assumed. A revised correction of cosmic-ray produced xenon can change the half-life ratio by about 6%. This quantity is of importance because it can be used to set a limit on the 0-nu double-beta decay mode.
