Status of the Single Stage AMS machine at Lund University after 4years of operation

Abstract

The Lund SSAMS machine has been in routine operation since 2004. We present results from the last year of operation of the facility. The reference sample IAEA C7 and the “old” oxalic acid, OxI, were used as secondary standards. As primary standard for calculations the OxII was used. The background and long term stability of the facility are discussed. We also report on the quality of the 13 C/ 12 C ratio from the SSAMS system.
