Compilation of cosmogenic radionuclides in meteorites

Abstract

All available data for the concentration of cosmogenic nuclides Mn-53(t(1/2) = 3.7 x 10(6) years), Al-26 (7.05 x 10(5) years), Be-10 (1.6 x 10(6) years), Cl-36 (3.0 x 10(5) years) and Ne-21, and Ne-22/Ne-21 ratios in stony, iron, and stony-iron meteorites were compiled. For iron meteorites, the He-4/Ne-21 ratio was adopted instead of Ne-22/Ne-21 ratio, because the He-4/Ne-21 ratio in iron meteorites indicates the shielding condition of the sample. The compilation contains over 2000 different analyses for four cosmogenic radionuclides
