4He/3He thermochronometry
cooling simulation
(requires Internet Explorer)

Spherical diffusion domain:
C = local concentration of 4He
r = radial position across domain
a = domain radius = 65
mm
Ea = 138 kJ/mol = 33 kcal/mol
ln(Do/a
2) = 13.5 ln(s-1)

R =
4He/3He
SF3He = cumulative 3He release fraction
