- To broaden the AMS programme in Lund by including Al studies, a new injector has been installed and tested at the 3 MV Pelletron accelerator. Detailed optical calculations have been performed to obtain maximum mass and energy resolution. The design of the injector, the improvement in the resolution compared to the old injector, as well as preliminary tests with a Al-26-beam, are presented. By using accelerator mass spectrometry (AMS) to measure the long-lived aluminium isotope Al-26 it has become possible to study the uptake, distribution and retention of aluminium in biological system under physiologically realistic conditions. Results from a pilot project on Al-26 in wheat plants are presented.

A small and compact AMS facility for tritium depth profiling

Journal article (peer-reviewed)abstract
- A dedicated AMS facility for depth profiling of tritium in carbon samples has been installed, tested and applied to routine measurements in the Forschungszentrum. Rossendorf. It is based on an SF6-insulated 100 kV tandem accelerator equipped with a thin diamond-like carbon (DLC) stripper foil of about 1 mug/cm(2). With this setup carbon samples with tritium concentrations in the range of 5 x 10(10)-10(19) atoms/cm(3) can be analysed. In first routine measurements carbon samples cut from tiles of the inner wall of the fusion experiments ASDEX-upgrade Garching/Germany, JET Culham/UK and TFTR Princeton/USA have been analysed. In addition, depth profiles of deuterium and other light elements can be measured using the Faraday cup at the entrance of the accelerator (SIMS mode of the facility) or in the case of very low concentrations after acceleration using a particle detector (AMS mode).

Accelerator mass spectrometry
- 2003
-
In: Romanian Journal of Physics. - 1221-146X. ; 48:1-4, s. 27-37
-
Conference paper (peer-reviewed)abstract
- Accelerator mass spectrometry (AMS) is a world-wide spread technique and nearly 50 AMS laboratories exist today. The most widely spread application of AMS is for radiocarbon dating and an estimated total of nearly 100000 14C samples are measured per year. Other isotopes used are 10Be, 26Al, 36Cl, 41Ca, 129I. The number of these measured per year is estimated to be 10% of the number of 14C samples or even less

Accelerator mass spectrometry - an overview
- 2003

Journal article (peer-reviewed)abstract
- The technique of accelerator mass spectrometry (AMS) has spread worldwide since its first demonstration 25 years ago. The equipment used today is very diverse and dedicated accelerators as well as old "nuclear physics machines" can be found in the nearly 50 AMS laboratories today. The most widely spread application of AMS is for radiocarbon dating. However, AMS with C-14 as well as with other long-lived isotopes have also found applications in many other fields in physics and beyond.

Mechanical design of the recirculating, terminal pumping in the Lund Pelletron, and experimental experience
- 2002
-
In: Pramana - Journal of Physics. - 0304-4289 .- 0973-7111. ; 59:5, s. 725-737
-
Conference paper (peer-reviewed)abstract
- A recirculating terminal pumping system has been installed in the 3 MV Pelletron tandem accelerator in Lund. An extremly limited space in the high voltage terminal and the absence of electrical power in the terminal, forced us to provide a unique design for the installation and powering of the new pumps. Details of the technical design, as well as experience of the use of the new system for accelerator mass Spectrometry, will be given.
