A new AMS facility MILEA at the Nuclear Physics Institute in Řež, Czech Republic

The performance of a new Multi-Isotope Low-Energy AMS (MILEA) system developed in a cooperation of Ionplus AG and ETH Zurich, Switzerland for determination of 10Be, 14C, 26Al, 41Ca, 129I, and actinoids (233U and 236U) is described based on results of factory- and on-site acceptance tests carried out...

Description
Summary:The performance of a new Multi-Isotope Low-Energy AMS (MILEA) system developed in a cooperation of Ionplus AG and ETH Zurich, Switzerland for determination of 10Be, 14C, 26Al, 41Ca, 129I, and actinoids (233U and 236U) is described based on results of factory- and on-site acceptance tests carried out at the producer and customer sites, respectively. The parameters measured were transmissions from the injector to the detector, currents in the high energy part of MILEA, radioisotope/stable blank ratios or abundance sensitivity, single sample and overall sample scatter of the radioisotope/stable isotope ratios. The results achieved were competitive with larger AMS systems.
