Time delay between explosive nucleosynthesis and cosmic-ray acceleration.
Abstract
Pure electron-capture nuclei synthesized during explosive events could, under special conditions, be present in the relativistic cosmic radiation, providing an opportunity to set limits on the time elapsed between nucleosynthesis and acceleration of cosmic-ray nuclei. In this respect, measurement of the cobalt abundance in relativistic cosmic rays seems the more promising test for the near future.
