It is known that the periods when solar activity was extremely weak (so-called grand minima) existed several times in the last 1000 years. It is reported by Kocharov et al. that the solar activity periodicity during the Maunder minimum was not the 11 year variation but the 22 year variation. What does the cycle of 22 years mean? Does the periodicity of 22 years exist also in the minima other than the Maunder minimum? We have investigated the solar activity of the Sporer minimum, which preceded the Maunder minimum, in order to understand the periodicity of solar activity during the minima. Both the liquid scintillation method and the accelerator mass spectrometry method (AMS method) were used for measuring the ^<14>C concentration in annual tree rings.

This paper presents the variation of solar activity during the Maunder Minimum (1645-1715 AD) deducted from radiocarbon content in tree-rings. Radiocarbon is produced by the galactic cosmic rays, which are modulated by the solar wind and the interplanetary magnetic field in the heliosphere. The production rate of radiocarbon, therefore, reflects the state of solar magnetic activity. Most distinct index of solar magnetic activity it the group sunspot number. The variations of sunspot number have shown clear cyclicity since the 18^<th> century with average length being about eleven years. The sunspots, however, have once almost disappeared during the period of 1645-1715 AD due to extraordinary weakening of solar activity. This period has been called as the Maunder Minimum. There is no remarkable cyclicity in the sunspot variations. We, therefore, investigated the cyclicity of radiocarbon content in tree rings from the Maunder Minimum in order to clarify the characteristics of solar activity during this period. We compared two radiocarbon records obtained newly by our group and by Stuiver et al. The results of frequency analyses have shown that solar magnetic reversals had maintained through the Maunder Minimum and that the length of the "eleven-year" cycle was stretched to 13-15 years.
