Progress in 236U analysis with the compact AMS system at CIAE
The long-lived radionuclide 236U has become a powerful tracer in geochemical and oceanographic studies in recent years. Therefore, the present study is carried out to analyse 236U and other U-isotopes with the compact accelerator mass spectrometry (AMS) system independently developed by the China Institute of Atomic Energy (CIAE). Through the optimization study of beam transmission, particle detection and background suppression techniques, the 236U measurement method is established and the measurement performance is evaluated. The abundance sensitivity of 236U/238U is close to 10-15 and the effects of various factors such as slit settings are discussed. The results show that the CIAE compact AMS system is capable of rapid, stable, and highly sensitive analysis of uranium samples under low-energy conditions.
期刊介绍:
Section B of Nuclear Instruments and Methods in Physics Research covers all aspects of the interaction of energetic beams with atoms, molecules and aggregate forms of matter. This includes ion beam analysis and ion beam modification of materials as well as basic data of importance for these studies. Topics of general interest include: atomic collisions in solids, particle channelling, all aspects of collision cascades, the modification of materials by energetic beams, ion implantation, irradiation - induced changes in materials, the physics and chemistry of beam interactions and the analysis of materials by all forms of energetic radiation. Modification by ion, laser and electron beams for the study of electronic materials, metals, ceramics, insulators, polymers and other important and new materials systems are included. Related studies, such as the application of ion beam analysis to biological, archaeological and geological samples as well as applications to solve problems in planetary science are also welcome. Energetic beams of interest include atomic and molecular ions, neutrons, positrons and muons, plasmas directed at surfaces, electron and photon beams, including laser treated surfaces and studies of solids by photon radiation from rotating anodes, synchrotrons, etc. In addition, the interaction between various forms of radiation and radiation-induced deposition processes are relevant.
