A method for determining the age of cosmic rays in the galaxy
Abstract
This paper presents a way to determine the age of cosmic rays in the galaxy by using the data on the ratio of the abundance of manganese to iron from the Danish-French isotope instrument on board HEAO-3. The leaky-box model and the exponential path-length distribution have been adopted in this paper.
