Abstract
Excitation functions of B-11(alpha,p)C-14 reaction have been measured from 3 to 7.7 MeV in 50 or 100 keV steps. The angle-integrated cross-s ection has been used to calculate C-14 production in an uranium minera l as a function of the boron content. Comparison is made with C-14 pro duction from the radioactive (exotic) decay of members of the uranium radioactive series. (C) 1997 Elsevier Science Ltd.
