Scientific paper

The Be-10 contents of 28 stony meteorites with known Ne-21 contents range from 0.97 to 23 dpm/kg and give an average Ne-21 production rate (P21) of (0.28 + or - 0.02) x 10 to the -8th cu cm STP/g-My for shielding conditions corresponding to Ne-22/Ne-21 = 1.114 in an H-chondrite. This P21 (Be) agrees with others' P21 based on Na-22, Kr-81, and Mn-53, but not an Al-26. Temporal variations in the cosmic ray flux do not explain the disagreement satisfactorily; major errors in the radionuclide half-lives are not indicated. The discrepancy seems rooted in the data selection and the difficulties of making accurate corrections for shielding, chemical composition and other sources of variability.
