Cosmogenic Be is formed primarily in the stratosphere from cosmic-ray spallation of oxygen and nitrogen, but some is produced in the troposphere and in situ on the surface of the earth. Production of cosmogenic Be was hypothesized by Peters (1955). Soon after, naturally occurring 7Be was identified in precipitation by Arnold and Al-Salih (1955) and essentially concurrently and independently by Goel et al. (1956). 10Be (T1/2 = 1.5 × 106 yr) was first... You do not have access to this content, please speak to your institutional administrator if you feel you should have access.
