Abstract
Proton production cross sections for Be-10, Al-26, Be-7 and Na-2Z prod uced by protons in silicon dioxide (for oxygen) and silicon targets ov er a wide proton energy range, 25-500 MeV, have been measured using ac celerator mass spectrometry or nondestructive gamma-ray spectroscopy. These cross sections are important for interpreting measurements of th e concentration of these nuclides produced in extraterrestrial materia ls by cosmic rays.
