Abstract

A second low-energy injection line containing the Isobar Separator for Anions (ISA), a radiofrequency quadrupole reaction cell system, was installed on the 3 MV tandem accelerator system at the A. E. Lalonde (AEL) accelerator mass spectrometry (AMS) Laboratory. The suppression of ³⁶S via anion-gas reaction with NO₂ was evaluated for measurements of ³⁶Cl reference materials and a dilution series, using a 3 MV AMS system. The dilution series, with ³⁶Cl/Cl ratios ranging from 10⁻¹¹ to 10⁻¹⁵, were measured in comparison with external measurement. ³⁶Cl/Cl blank levels of (7 ± 4) x10⁻¹⁵ were reached. While ISA-AMS is not currently able to achieve sufficient separation for most ³⁶Cl applications, these measurements show progress towards routine measurement of ³⁶Cl and demonstrate the steps required to validate such measurements on lower energy AMS systems.

期刊介绍： The journal invites papers that advance the field of mass spectrometry by exploring fundamental aspects of ion processes using both the experimental and theoretical approaches, developing new instrumentation and experimental strategies for chemical analysis using mass spectrometry, developing new computational strategies for data interpretation and integration, reporting new applications of mass spectrometry and hyphenated techniques in biology, chemistry, geology, and physics. Papers, in which standard mass spectrometry techniques are used for analysis will not be considered. IJMS publishes full-length articles, short communications, reviews, and feature articles including young scientist features.
