Generation of long-lived products by cosmic nucleons at sea level has been studied for detector materials like germanium and tellurium and for other materials commonly used like copper; the main results will be summarized, considering both measurements and calculations. The isotope production cross sections and the cosmic ray spectrum are the two main ingredients when calculating this cosmogenic activation; the different alternatives for implementing them will be discussed. But cosmogenic activation can take place also deep underground due to cosmic muons, being relevant in this case the short-lived products. Studies carried out to evaluate the underground activation mainly for liquid scintillator materials will be commented too. 000071044 540__ $$9info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess$$aAll rights reserved$$uhttp://www.europeana.eu/rights/rr-f/ 000071044 655_4 $$ainfo:eu-repo/semantics/article$$vinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersion 000071044 7102_ $$12004$$2390$$aUniversidad de Zaragoza$$bDepartamento de Física Teórica$$cFísica Atómica, Molecular y Nuclear 000071044 773__ $$g1549 (2013), 136-141$$pAIP conf. proc.$$tAIP Conference Proceedings$$x0094-243X 000071044 8564_ $$s293795$$uhttps://zaguan.unizar.es/record/71044/files/texto_completo.pdf$$yVersión publicada 000071044 8564_ $$s84459$$uhttps://zaguan.unizar.es/record/71044/files/texto_completo.jpg?subformat=icon$$xicon$$yVersión publicada 000071044 909CO $$ooai:zaguan.unizar.es:71044$$particulos$$pdriver 000071044 951__ $$a2018-06-25-13:54:59 000071044 980__ $$aARTICLE
