Elemental Abundances in the Galactic Cosmic Radiation Elements in the upper 2/3rds of the periodic table, are extremely rare compared to lighter elements. They contain unique information not obtainable from light cosmic rays. Measurement requires large instruments at the top of the atmosphere or in space for long exposure times.

Objectives of Galactic Cosmic Ray Research Determine the source(s) of cosmic rays  What material is accelerated?  What are the nucleosynthesis sites of the accelerated nuclei?  What are the accelerators? Measure the elemental, isotopic, and energy spectra so that the source abundances can be determined Determine what changes occur as the CRs propagate from their source to us at 1AU.  Nuclear interactions, Leakage from galaxy, Solar Modulation, Earth’s magnetic field (for Earth orbiting missions)

The ACE-CRIS Experiment: Isotope Measurements

The Cosmic Ray Isotope Spectrometer (CRIS) on ACE Erice 2014-Bob Binns 12 CRIS 10 cm Advanced Composition Explorer (ACE) satellite launched in August, Still in orbit about the L1 Lagrange point between Earth and the Sun Still sending back good element and isotope data on GCRs No significant degradation in instrument performance

Instrument Cross-section Large geometrical factor of CRIS (~50 x previous instruments) Excellent mass resolution enables precise identification of abundances. Long time in orbit— nearly 17 years

14 How do we derive source abundances from data? CRIS concept is simple, but the DEVIL is in the details!! Mass resolution Angle Measurement Theta correction to signals (achieved <0.1º angle resolution) Require “good hodoscope”  three consistent x,y coordinate pairs For best resolution, use events that are near vertical (e.g. 28, need all the particles we can get, so accept <60 º Reject interactions Reject penetrating events--signal in the bottom anticoincidence detector Require charge estimate consistency using different combinations of detectors for estimate Require penetration to E3 or deeper so can apply consistency rqmt Reject “dead layer” events (particles stopping within ~500 µm from surface on one side of wafer) & correct for nonlinearities in signal from silicon detectors Reject particles exiting through the side of the stack using anticoincidence rings Map actual thickness of all silicon detectors Abundances at top-of-detector Interaction corrections Energy interval corrections Source abundances Propagate from instrument through heliosphere Propagate back to the source 6 mm Dead layers ~500  m thick

What questions can we address with composition measurements of heavy nuclei (Z>26)? What is the time between nucleosynthesis and acceleration? How do GCR isotope and element ratios compare with those from possible sources? Does the volatile (gas) or refractory (dust grains) nature of an element affect the composition of CRs? Do cosmic ray abundances depend on mass? Erice 2014-Bob Binns 17

What is the time between nucleosynthesis and acceleration of GCRs? Does a SN shock accelerate nuclei synthesized in that same SN? Soutoul et al., 1978  radioactive isotopes that decay only by electron- capture can be used to measure the time between nucleosynthesis and acceleration. 59 Ni decays only by electron-capture with half- life 76,000yr in lab. 59 Ni + e - → 59 Co + BUT, at cosmic-ray energies it is stripped of electrons, so is essentially stable. Erice 2014-Bob Binns 18 If GCR are accelerated by the same SN in which the nuclei are synthesized, expect to see 59 Ni in the GCR. So what do we observe????

GCR Nickel and Cobalt Histograms So GCR source is ambient interstellar matter accelerated >10 5 years after nucleosynthesis Corolary: Whatever the source of GCRs, there must be time between nucleosynthesis and acceleration for the 59 Ni to decay Constraint #1 Wiedenbeck, et al., ApJL, 523, L51 (1999)

Mass Ratio What fraction of mass-59 nuclei is expected to be synthesized as 59 Ni in core-collapse SNe? Note that Type-1a Sne are also copious producers of 59 Co and 59 Ni (Iwamoto et al. 1999) However, Type 1a SNe  ~15% of total SN rate  ejecta spreads throughout the galaxy over time  Core-collapse SNe seed a high-metallicity superbubble environment, ready for acceleration by the relatively frequent, nearby SNe.

22 Samples of the local interstellar medium (ISM) ~4.6 Gyr ago Galactic Cosmic-Ray Source Sample of local ISM today The cosmic-ray source composition differs from that of the Solar System. The CRIS experiment, finds a 22 Ne/ 20 Ne source ratio relative to SS of 5.3  0.3 Earlier experiments also found substantial enhancements (e.g. Ulysses, Voyager, CRRES, ISEE-3) Best accepted explanation is that this might result from an admixture of WR wind material, rich in 22 Ne, with normal ISM (with SS composition). (Montmerle, 1979; Cesarsky & Montmerle, 1981; Higdon & Lingenfelter 2003, 2005)

Evolution of surface abundances (mass fraction) with stellar mass for 60M ⊙ star (Meynet & Maeder, 2003) Time evolution of WR abundances Non- rotating star Rotating Star 300 km/s at equator Top curve—total mass; Bottom curve—convective core mass Time evolution of mass Non-rotating Star Rotating star 22 Ne greatly enhanced during helium burning through the  -capture reaction 14 N( ,  ) 18 F(e +,  ) 18 O( ,  ) 22 Ne

Higdon and Lingenfelter (2003)  GCR 22 Ne/ 20 Ne ratio consistent with a source made of a mixture of ~82% SS composition and 18% wind outflow+ejecta from massive stars.  Superbubble/OB association origin of GCRs.  But, used Schaller et al for massive star wind yield. More recent calculations (Hirshi, et al. 2005) show reduced 22 Ne production. Binns, et al (2005)  GCR abundances of a range of isotope and element ratios for Z≤28 nuclei are consistent with ~20% massive star outflow (Meynet & Maeder, 2003, 2005) mixed with ~80% normal ISM (SS composition). 24 ACE-CRIS isotope ratios for Z ≤ 28 Ne Mg Si Fe Ni C/0

Isotopes for Z>26 25

Z>28 Nuclei 26 ACE-CRIS has provided the first, and only existing measurements of isotopic abundances of 29 Cu, 30 Zn, 31 Ga, & 32 Ge. We see well resolved isotope peaks from 29 Cu through 32 Ge with sufficient statistics for a meaningful measurement. Note “possible” 3-event peak at mass 67-- Electron capture isotope—lifetime 3.3d  If real, they have to be secondaries

27 Ultra-heavy isotopes in context of previous lower-Z data 27 New data are consistent with model, but also with solar system abundances.  CR source must be able to produce isotope ratios that are “equivalent to” that obtained by mixing ~20% of MSO with ~80% of normal ISM. Note that the isotopic ratio error bars for new UH isotopes are statistical only. Constraint #2

Summary of constraints imposed by isotope measurements Isotopes measured by ACE-CRIS have provided two constraints for the source of GCRs  Constraint 1—The acceleration of GCRs must occur more than ~10 5 years after nucleosynthesis  Constraint 2—The abundances of the isotopic ratios measured must be “equivalent to” that obtained by mixing ~20% of massive star outflow material with ~80% of normal ISM (with SS abundances) Erice 2014-Bob Binns 28
