Description:
The isotopes of C, N, and O in the galactic cosmic rays were measured in the 45-106 Mev/nucleon range with data collected during 1973-77 by the cosmic-ray telescope onboard the IMP-7 spacecraft. The ratios of (N-15)/N, (C-13)/C, and ((O-18)/O agreed with previous measurements. Cosmic ray propagation and solar modulation indicate that the measured N isotopic ratio is in agreement with a source ratio of (N-14)/O = 0.03, which is much lower than the solar system abundance ratio.
