Production of 7Be, 9Be and 10Be in the Spallation of 13C by Protons of 150 and 600 MeV

Abstract

A SYSTEMATIC programme concerned with studying the high energy spallation of light target nuclei has been carried out in this laboratory. These studies are important for understanding the high energy nuclear processes that can take place under various astrophysical conditions (and in particular those associated with galactic cosmic-ray spallation).
