摘要: Cosmic ray spallation produced 3He, 21Ne, 22Ne, and 38Ar have been measured as a function of depth in three mutually perpendicular cores (56, 51, 21 cm) taken from the ∼120-kg L chondrite found near Keyes, Oklahoma. The data obtained represent first experimental determination variation production rates these cosmogenic nuclides single stone meteorite. Fifteen samples across 56-cm core showed maximum concentration changes 14% 28% 19% 3He/21Ne, 5% 22Ne/21Ne. 51-cm somewhat smaller changes. All are characterized by increasing 3He 21Ne concentrations decreasing 3He/21Ne 22Ne/21Ne ratios with depth. A relatively broad occurs at >20 cm. ranges observed Keyes (5.7–4.8 1.14–1.08, respectively) typical irradiation hardness experienced many ordinary chondrites imply shielding 5–35 These not sensitive for but offer possible means making relative corrections to calculated noble gas exposure ages.
