Scientific paper

Radioactive cosmic ray nuclei produced by nuclear interactions during cosmic ray propagation through the galaxy can be used to study the mean interstellar gas density in the propagation volume and the time scales associated with the propagation process. The Cosmic Ray Isotope Spectrometer (CRIS) aboard the Advanced Composition Explorer (ACE) has made high-resolution abundance measurements of the beta-decay secondary isotopes 10 Be, 26 Al, 36Cl, and 54Mn over the energy range 70-400 MeV/nuc. The large geometrical factor of CRIS (~250 cm2 sr) and the 20 months of data collection at near solar minimum conditions have made it possible since launch in August, 1997 to accumulate data samples considerably larger than previous missions. The isotopic abundances derived from these data are presented and compared with previous measurements.
