Secondary Electron-Capture Clock Isotopes as a Probe of Reacceleration
Abstract
Cosmic rays that are produced by nuclear interactions during propagation and decay only by electron capture can be used to determine the level of cosmic ray reacceleration that has occurred. The high resolution, large statistical sample of cosmic rays collected by the Cosmic Ray Isotope Spectrometer (CRIS) aboard the Advanced Composition Explorer (ACE) spacecraft provides a data set that allows precision measurements of these isotopic abundances. We discuss electron capture decay, the signatures of reacceleration, and the sensitivity with which reacceleration models can be tested.
