Are Compact AMS Facilities a Competitive Alternative to Larger Tandem Accelerators
In the last decade, small and compact accelerator mass spectrometry (AMS) systems became available operating at terminal voltages of 1 MV and below. This new category of instruments has become competitive for radiocarbon detection to larger tandem accelerators and many of these instruments are successfully used for 14 C dating or biomedical applications. The AMS group at ETH Zurich has demonstrated that small instruments can be built, which allow…

Be, 14 C Distribution, and Soil Production Rate in a Soil Profile of a Grassland Slope at Heshan Hilly Land, Guangdong
Concentrations of organic carbon, carbon isotopes ( 13 C and 14 C), atmospheric 10 Be in soil, and in situ 10 Be in bedrock and weathering rock were determined in a study of a profile of a grassland slope at the Heshan Hilly Land Interdisciplinary Experimental Station, Chinese Academy of Sciences, in Guangdong Province, China. A good linear relationship between depth and the 14 C apparent age of the organic carbon demonstrates that the rock weath…
A 36Cl Profile in Greenland Ice from AD 1265 to 1865
We have measured the concentration of 36 Cl in 67 samples from the upper portion of the Camp Century ice core. The profile extends from AD 1265 to 1865 and covers the times of the Wolf (AD 1282–1342), Spoerer (AD 1416–1534) and Maunder (AD 1645–1715) minima in sunspot number. Although the profile exhibits much short-term variation, a smoothed plot of the data shows a strong peak in 36 Cl concentration over the time of the Maunder Minimum. The dee…
Depth Profiles of Nitrogen and Chlorine in Pure Materials Through AMS of the Neutron Activation Products 14C and 36Cl
Determination of the more common light elements such as nitrogen and chlorine at trace levels is difficult because of their high abundance on sample surfaces, in materials used to build analysis instruments, and in the residual gas of the instrument vacuum. We present here a new approach to analysis of these elements: accelerator mass spectrometry (AMS) combined with neutron activation. The problem of contamination is overcome by using neutron ac…
The Chemical Preparation of AgCl for Measuring 36 Cl in Polar Ice with Accelerator Mass Spectrometry
A method of chemical separation and purification of chloride from relatively small samples (500 to 2100g) of glacial ice is presented. With this procedure the first successful measurements of pre-bomb levels of 36 Cl in Greenland ice have been made. Emphasis is placed on methods of reducing sulfur, which causes interference in the accelerator mass spectrometry, and in maximizing the yield. Data regarding the selection of materials for sample hold…
