EAR-0447305BaldwinThis award will provide two years of support from NSF Instrumentation and Facilities to share the costs of a technician's position in the Syracuse University Noble Gas Isotope Research Laboratory (SUNGIRL). The position will be cost shared with contributions from Syracuse University. SUNGIRL consists of 1) a Micromass 5400 noble gas mass spectrometer and automated extraction line used for 40Ar/39Ar thermochronology, and 2) a quadrupole mass spectrometer and automated extraction line used for He analysis in conjunction with (U-Th)/He dating of apatite. Each extraction line utilizes a double-vacuum resistance furnace and a CO2 laser system for outgassing minerals and rocks. An excimer laser system is under construction for use with the 5400 noble gas mass spectrometer. Once fully commissioned it will expand SUNGIRL's analytical capabilities to include in situ 40Ar/39Ar analysis of minerals in thick sections. Under the general direction of the PIs, the technician is responsible for the day-to-day management and operation of the laboratory including maintenance of equipment, design modifications, and development of noble gas mass spectrometric techniques.

该奖项将提供为期两年的支持，从NSF仪器和设施，以分担在锡拉丘兹大学惰性气体同位素研究实验室（SUNGIRL）的技术人员的位置的费用。该职位的费用将与锡拉丘兹大学的捐款分摊。SUNGIRL包括1）Micromass 5400惰性气体质谱仪和用于40 Ar/39 Ar热年代学的自动提取线，和2）四极质谱仪和用于He分析的自动提取线，结合磷灰石的（U-Th）/He定年。每条提取线都使用双真空电阻炉和CO2激光系统对矿物和岩石进行除气。一个准分子激光系统正在建造中，用于5400惰性气体质谱仪。一旦完全投入使用，它将扩大SUNGIRL的分析能力，包括对厚层矿物进行原位40 Ar/39 Ar分析。在首席研究员的总体指导下，技术员负责实验室的日常管理和运作，包括设备维护、设计修改和惰性气体质谱技术的开发。
