• Total solar irradiance during the Holocene (2009, background): “[9] Recently, a f composite [Steinhilber et al., 2008] has been built from individual f records [Vonmoos et al., 2006; McCracken et al., 2004; Usoskin et al., 2005] which are based on the cosmogenic radionuclide 10Be measured in ice cores and on neutron monitor count rates.”
• Solar activity during the last 1000 yr inferred from radionuclide records (2007, result): “This solar modulation estimate agrees well with independent results for solar minimum periods inferred from 10Be records by McCracken et al. (2004).”
• A new approach to the long-term reconstruction of the solar irradiance leads to large historical solar forcing (2011, methodology): “To homogenize the data we converted the modulation potential from McCracken et al. (2004) and Usoskin et al. (2005) to LIS by Castagnoli & Lal (1980) which is used in Vonmoos et al. (2006).”
• Heliospheric modulation of cosmic rays: Monthly reconstruction for 1951–2004 (2005, methodology): “the Earth. The modulation varies with the varying solar activity and is often described in terms of the so-called force field model [Gleeson and Axford, 1968; Caballero-Lopez and Moraal, 2004; McCracken et al., 2004a ].”

• Modeling production and climate‐related impacts on 10Be concentration in ice cores (2006, background): “[49] One time period of particular interest is the Maunder Minimum (late 17th century) during which 10Be snow concentrations increased by 50% at Dye 3 and 40% at the South Pole (1690–1710 CE compared to 1730–1750 CE) [Bard et al., 1997; McCracken et al., 2004].”
• RECORD-SETTING COSMIC-RAY INTENSITIES IN 2009 AND 2010 (2010, background): “Although the 2009 intensities are at a 50 year high level, measurements of 10Be deposited in polar ice cores over the last ∼500 years (McCracken et al. 2004a) indicate that the space era has occurred during a period of very low GCR intensity.”
• An Antarctic view of Beryllium-10 and solar activity for the past millennium (2011, methodology): “The stronger the contribution of lower latitudes to the Antarctic flux of 10Be, the stronger the inferred changes in U. McCracken et al. (2004) used a moderate contribution from the lowest latitudes to the South Pole 10Be flux: their mixing model ‘‘M3’’ implies that relative variations of the…”
