Abstract

The primary (source) and secondary (spallogenic) galactic cosmic rays offer an opportunity to study recently synthesized nuclear material. The radioactive isotopes in both populations are of interest for understanding the cosmic ray source and propagation. This paper briefly reports on Ulysses High Energy Telescope (HET) observations of some cosmic ray radioactives.
