Abstract
Isotopes that decay only by electron capture decay preferentially at the lower cosmic-ray energies. Data from the Cosmic Ray Isotope Spectrometer on ACE show energy dependence in the abundances of these isotopes. We discuss these results and their application to reacceleration of galactic cosmic rays in the interstellar medium.
