Radiocarbon precision tests at the Lecce AMS facility using a sequential injection system

The installation of a new AMS radiocarbon dating facility at the University of Lecce (Italy) has been completed by performing precision measurements using oxalic acid II standards. The measurements have shown that a precision of 0.37% in the 14C/ 12C ratio and a machine background of 60 ka can be ob...

Description
Summary:The installation of a new AMS radiocarbon dating facility at the University of Lecce (Italy) has been completed by performing precision measurements using oxalic acid II standards. The measurements have shown that a precision of 0.37% in the 14C/ 12C ratio and a machine background of 60 ka can be obtained with the new AMS facility manufactured by High Voltage Engineering Europa B.V. by using the fast bouncing technique for the ion injection.
