摘要
We have measured Cl-36 in a suite of 33 rock samples having well-constrained exposure histories and ages. The Cl-36 production parameters were estimated by minimizing the squared deviations between the Cl-36 and independent ages, yielding the following production parameters: spallation and muon production from Ca 2940+/-200 atoms Cl-36 (mole Ca)(-1) yr(-1), spallation from K 6020+/-400 atoms Cl-36 (mole K)(-1) yr(-1), and neutron production in air 586+/-40 fast neutrons (g air)(-1) yr(-1). The new production constants for spallation on Ca and thermal neutron activation are in good agreement with previous results, but that for spallation on K is about 50% larger.
