Physics

Scientific paper

We report a measurement of the cosmic-ray isotopic composition of chlorine in the low-energy range from 87 to 234 MeV per nucleon. This measurement was made using the High Energy Telescope of the CRS experiment on the Voyager 1 and 2 spacecraft during the time period from 1977 to 1995 with an average solar modulation level about 500 MV, roughly the same as at Earth near sunspot minimum. Our interpretation of the isotopic composition of cosmic-ray chlorine is based on a standard Leaky-Box model for the interstellar propagation of cosmic ray nuclei with a path length distribution consistent with Voyager measurement of B/C ratio .
