A new AMS facility based on a Cockcroft–Walton type 1MV tandetron at IFIN-HH Magurele, Romania

AMS with light nuclei at small accelerators

“…At the NIPNE, in Bucharest, Romania, a new Cockcroft Walton type 1 MV HVEE tandetron system was commissioned in April 2012 [5]. This is the second AMS machine in our institute, after that constructed based on the old 9 MV FN tandem accelerator [6].…”

“…The samples to be analyzed are loaded into the ion source, where they are bombarded by a 133 Cs + accelerated ion beam in order to produce sputtered ions from the target. Details are to be found in [5,6]. To suppress the interference between 10 Be and 10 B, the passive absorber foil method was applied by using a Si 3 N 4 foil.…”

A new ion beam facility based on a 3 MV Tandetron™ at IFIN-HH, Romania

“…Complementary to the accelerator described in the present paper, two other tandem accelerators with acceleration voltages of 9 MV and 1 MV (dedicated to multi element accelerator mass spectrometry [12]) are present in the institute. Together, the three tandem accelerator systems offer a wide-range of techniques available to end-users, enabling multi-disciplinary state-of-the-art research feasible at IFIN-HH.…”

From carbon to actinides: A new universal 1MV accelerator mass spectrometer at ANSTO

“…[1][2][3], that are larger than the more common instruments operating at 200 kV to 500 kV. It has been designed to accept a wide range of isotopes from radiocarbon to actinides.…”
