COSMO - a program to estimate spallation radioactivity produced in a pure substance by exposure to cosmic radiation on the earth

Abstract
A program is presented that calculates the production by nucleon-induced spallation of all radionuclides with halflives in the range 25 days-5 million years, from an initially pure substance.

Title of program: COSMO
Catalogue Id: ACJN_v1_0

Nature of problem
Particularly in low-level counting applications (design of Dark Matter and neutrinoless-beta beta decay experiments), it is important to have estimates of the cosmogenic activity produced in detector and cryostat materials by interaction of cosmic rays. With straightforward modifications, program would also be useful in computing induced radioactivity in accelerator components exposed to nucleon beams of energy greater than 50-100 MeV.
