Description
Beryllium nuclei are expected to be mainly produced by the fragmentation of primary cosmic rays (CR) during their propagation. Therefore, their measurement is essential in the understanding of cosmic ray propagation and sources. In particular, the ¹⁰Be/⁹Be ratio can be used as a radioactive clock providing the measurement of CR residence time in the Galaxy. In this contribution, the measurement of the ⁷Be, ⁹Be, and ¹⁰Be fluxes and ratios based on data collected by AMS are presented.
