A rapid cosmic-ray increase in BC 3372–3371 from ancient buried tree rings in China

Cosmic rays interact with the Earth’s atmosphere to produce (14)C, which can be absorbed by trees. Therefore, rapid increases of (14)C in tree rings can be used to probe previous cosmic-ray events. By this method, three (14)C rapidly increasing events have been found. Plausible causes of these event...
