Various interfering reactions producing Ar isotopes during neutron irradiation from Cl, Ar, K, and Ca have been previously detailed with the significant ones being routinely corrected for in 40Ar/39Ar geochronology. Interference of double charged Kr-80(Kr-80(++)) with 40Ar has not yet been considered. Significant amounts of 80 Kr are produced during neutron irradiation through the reaction Br-79(n, beta(-)) Kr-80. While previous workers reported a computed fission spectrum averaged cross section of similar to 48 mb-compared to similar to 113 mb for K-39(n, p) 39Ar-we determined a similar to 33-fold higher production rate of Kr-80 from Br compared to 39Ar from K in the CLICIT facility of the OSU reactor. Low-K, high-Br phases, e. g., some amphiboles, and fluid or melt inclusion rich samples are prone to Kr-80(++) interference biasing 40Ar/(39) Ar dates in the parts per thousand to % range. Kr-80(++) resembles excess 40Ar in step-heating experiments. The interference can be corrected for by using the parallel reaction Br-81 (n, beta)Kr-82. (C) 2017 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
