"Noble gas mass spectrometry was used to study rare nuclear processes in terrestrial rocks and minerals. An excess of 36Ar was detected in a chlorine-rich rock. The excess 36Ar has been produced in rocks near the earth's surface due to capture of cosmic-ray-produced neutrons on 35Cl. Measurement of 36Ar formed by the 35Cl(n, γ)36Cl(β-)36Ar process makes possible a new method for determining the surface residence time of chlorine-rich minerals
Excess 82Kr and excess 83Kr were detected in selenium-rich ores. The excess 82Kr results from double beta …
