129I加速器质谱分析研究

通过对129I加速器质谱(AMS)分析中影响敏度和准确度各种参数的研究,如靶电极制备、压样、靶样中辅助介质（Matrix）的选择及使用比例等,优化了用于3 MV加速器质谱仪的SO-110型离子源的条件参数,确定129I-AMS测量的最佳靶电极材料为Cu,最佳的辅助介质为Nb粉末,Nb与AgI样品的最佳体积比为3∶1。在此条件下可以获得稳定且持续的I-束流进行测量129I/127I原子比值,实验测得西安加速器质谱仪的129I/127I本底值为1.5210-14。     

A preliminary study of small-mass radiocarbon sample measurement at Xi'an-AMS

To meet the measurement demands on small-mass radiocarbon(carbon content at 10^-6g level) which are becoming increasingly significant, Xi’an-AMS has made improvements to the existing method of sample loading and has upgraded the Cs sputter ion source from the original SO-110 model. In order to study the feasibility of small-mass samples in Xi’an-AMS and evaluate the radiocarbon sample preparation ability using existing routine systems of H₂/Fe and Zn/Fe, the small-mass samples prepared by four different methods are tested. They are the mass division method, mass dilution method, H₂/Fe reduction method and Zn/Fe reduction method. The results show that carbon mass above 25 μg can be prepared using the existing Zn/Fe system, but no less than 100 μg is required using the existing H₂/Fe system, which can be improved. This indicates Xi’an-AMS are now able to analyze small-mass radiocarbon samples.
