Equipment and methodology for high precision, high throughput 14C AMS analyses at ANTARES

The original Rutgers FN tandem accelerator has been modified for high-precision high-throughput AMS analyses at the ANTARES AMS Center. The status of this work and future plans are discussed, with emphasis on 14C. Isotopic ratios are measured at ANTARES by sequentially injecting stable isotopes and the radioisotope, and the systems developed for this purpose are described. Progress with a new injection platform and high intensity, multi-sample ion source is also given. © 1994 Elsevier B.V.
