Acceleration and Transport of the Unstable Cosmic-Ray Isotope 60Fe in Supernova-enriched Environments
The unstable isotope ^60 Fe, with a half-life of 2.6 million years, is produced primarily in supernova explosions. The observed presence of ^60 Fe in cosmic rays and its detection in deep-sea crusts and sediments suggest two possible scenarios: either the direct acceleration of ^60 Fe from supernova...
