Abstract
Spallation cross sections for the reaction Ar-40(p, 2p3n)Cl-36 are mea sured in the energy range 47-1000 MeV. The results are used to calcula te the production of cosmogenic Cl-36 on atmospheric argon by solar pr otons and by galactic cosmic rays. The dependence of the fall-out rate of atmospheric cosmogenic Cl-36 on geomagnetic latitude and solar act ivity is calculated.
