Cosmic-ray Exposure Histories of Gas-rich Brecciated Meteorites

Introduction: Isotopic shifts in 150 Sm/ 149 Sm and 158 Gd/ 157 Gd caused by neutron capture effects are useful indicators to characterize the interaction of cosmic rays with planetary materials in space, because 149 Sm and 157 Gd have very large thermal neutron capture cross sections. A recent neutron capture study of the Sm and Gd isotopes of Pesyanoe also shows significant variations of neut...

Regolith Exposure of Lunar Meteorites Based on Neutron Capture Induced Shifts in Samarium Isotopic Composition

Introduction. Most lunar meteorites have unique cosmic-ray exposure (CRE) histories with long exposure times on the Moon, followed by very short transfer times from the Moon to Earth, typically 10-10 yr. Due to these short transfer times of lunar meteorites in space, the inventories of most cosmogenic radionuclides with half-lives of 10-10 yr contain contributions from exposure in the lunar reg...

Evaluation of the relative biological effectiveness of the Auger electrons produced during gadolinium neutron capture therapy using microdosimetric approach

Determination of the relative biological effectiveness (RBE) of Auger electrons is a challenging task in radiobiology. In this study, we have estimated the RBE of internal conversion (IC) and Auger electrons released during Gadolinium neutron capture reaction (GNCR) by means of biological weighting functions (BWFs) with microdosimetric approach. Regarding the different distribution of Gadoliniu...

Precise measurement of chromium isotopes by MC-ICPMS.

We report novel analytical procedures allowing for the concurrent determination of the stable and mass-independent Cr isotopic composition of silicate materials by multiple collector inductively coupled mass spectrometry (MC-ICPMS). In particular, we focus on improved precision of the measurement of the neutron-rich isotope 54Cr. Because nitride and oxide interferences are a major obstacle to p...
