Light Element Evolution in the Galactic Halo
Abstract
Description
Using a time-dependent Galactic Cosmic Ray flux proportional to the halo Star Formation Rate and including astration and neutrino-induced nucleosynthesis, we have studied the evolution of lithium, beryllium and boron in the halo. Our results set limits to the production of LiBeB by the neutrino-induced nucleosynthesis in massive stars, in order to reproduce the observed constancy of Be/Fe and B/Fe ratios, the lithium plateau and the isotopic ratios evolution.
