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

Summary, in English

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, Oxl, 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 C-13/C-12 ratio from the SSAMS system. (C) 2009 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
