Abstract

An experimental protocol to study the total cross section for the 13C(d, p)14C nuclear reaction via AMS is being currently developed for deuteron energies between 1 and 4 MeV. We started a series of experiments in which two aluminium cathodes filled with natural-graphite (98.9% 12C, 1.1% 13C) samples were irradiated with a deuterium beam of 4 MeV in a 150° RBS configuration at Instituto Nacional de Investigaciones Nucleares 6.0 Tandem Van de Graaff Accelerator (ININ, Mexico). The relative concentrations of 14C/12C were subsequently analyzed using AMS at Laboratorio Nacional de Espectrometría de Masas con Aceleradores (LEMA, UNAM).
