  • Abstract
    We describe an Accelerator Mass Spectrometer to be operated by TRIUMF Applied Programs for a consortium of earth scientists. The equipment will provide routine determinations of 14C, 10Be and 26Al in mg-sized samples derived from natural materials. The measurement system is designed around a used, but suitably upgraded, EN Tandem Van de Graaff accelerator. The design is an improved version of our first-generation AMS system which we currently operate at McMaster University.
