摘要

Using the small collector of the Trek experiment, a nuclear track-etch detector deployed on board the Russian space station Mir, we have made a measurement of the isotopic composition of manganese, iron, and nickel in the Galactic cosmic rays (GCR) at energies between 150 and 400 A MeV. We find that the isotopic composition of iron and nickel in the GCR source is consistent with solar system values; in particular, [~(60)Ni]/[~(58)Ni] is 0.78_(-0.29)~(+0.28) times the solar value, in contradiction to two previous results. The measurements were made in 1991-1992, during a maximum in solar activity and unusually strong solar modulation; we estimate that the analyzed GCR ions had kinetic energies between 550 and 1200 A MeV outside of the heliosphere. Based on our upper limit for the abundance of ~(56)Ni, we place a lower limit of ~24 days on the time between nucleosynthesis and acceleration of GCR material; the lack of significant enhancements in ~(54)Fe or ~(60)Ni excludes the possibility of major contributions of neutron-rich supernova zones to the GCR source. We do not find a strong depletion of ~(54)Mn, indicating that this isotope does not completely decay during propagation. We also place upper limits on the abundances of ~(54)Fe, ~(57)Fe, ~(58)Fe, ~(62)Ni, and ~(64)Ni. Our limit on the abundance of ~(58)Fe is nearly a factor of 3 lower than previously reported upper limits.
