Scientific paper

NUCLEAR reactions induced by neutrons in meteorites have been discussed by a number of authors1-6. A few radioactive and stable isotopes, produced mainly by thermal and epithermal neutrons, have been measured7-15, but there is not much direct information on the flux of fast neutrons (E>~1 MeV). The most sensitive indicator of fast neutrons, the phosphorus-32 produced by 32S(n,p) reactions, has been used only once11, partly because of the short half-life of phosphorus-32, 14.3 days. Furthermore, in the one measurement of phosphorus-32, only the activity of the bulk sample was determined, that is, no attempt was made to distinguish between the component produced by spallation and that produced by the 32S(n,p) reaction.
