Measurement of cosmic ray produced Mn-53 in deep sea metallic spherulesCosmic ray originated Mn-53 nuclides were measured in deep sea metallic spherules by neutron activation analysis. The spherules may be fused micrometeoroids or ablation droplets from larger objects; the low activities of Mn-53 may indicate its evaporation loss resulting from the heating in the earth's atmosphere or short exposure age. The Mn-53 nuclide is now being measured in chondritic spherules, and Be-10 and Cl-36 concentrations are determined in individual spherules using ion counting methods.
