Abstract
Ar-39 and Ar-42 are possible sources of background in large volume arg on based detectors for the study of low energy neutrino events, as pro posed for the ICARUS experiment. The production of these nuclides from neutron capture by atmospheric argon is estimated by taking into acco unt both cosmic rays and contributions from nuclear explosions.
