Facility Support: The Purdue Rare Isotope Measurement Laboratory

该合同为普渡大学稀有同位素测量实验室的运行和维护提供部分资金，该实验室是由美国国家科学基金会支持的多用户国家设施，提供基于加速器的质谱（AMS）能力，用于测量宇宙起源放射性核素10Be、14C、26Al、36Cl和129I。该设施的科学目标是开发和校准用于分析极低浓度宇宙生成放射性核素的方法，这是AMS方法的独特能力，用于研究岩石、土壤、地下水和地外物质的地质历史。＊＊＊

9510040 Elmore This award provides partial funding for the operation and maintenance of the Purdue Rare Isotope Measurement Laboratory, a multi-user national facility supported by NSF to provide accelerator-based mass spectrometry (AMS) capabilities in measuring the cosmogenic radionuclides 10Be, 14C, 26Al, 36Cl, and 129I. The scientific goals of the facility are to develop and calibrate methods for applying the analysis of very low concentrations of cosmogenic radionuclides, a unique capability of the AMS method, to the study of the geologic history of rocks, soils, and ground water, and extraterrestrial materials. ***
