This award is funded under the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 (Public Law 111-5).NSF support for equipment upgrades and components form an integral part of continuing the vital role of the Arizona AMS Laboratory and maintaining our equipment at modern standards. The facility's two machines are in need of vacuum equipment and computer upgrades to bring them up to modern equipment standards. These upgrades to the Arizona AMS Laboratory will allow us to improve these AMS facilities to 21st century conditions. This will facilitate our service role for NSF-sponsored research projects. Scientists at the Arizona AMS Laboratory contribute to many fields of research on radiocarbon dating and studies of other radionuclides. These upgrades will improve the operational conditions of the AMS machines at Arizona and allow us to continue our research with less down-time due to equipment problems and failures. The laboratory will also be in a better position to provide service to NSF researchers using our facility.

该奖项是根据2009年美国复苏和再投资法案（公法111-5）资助的。NSF对设备升级和组件的支持是亚利桑那AMS实验室继续发挥重要作用和保持我们的设备达到现代标准的一个组成部分。该设施的两台机器需要真空设备和计算机升级，以使它们达到现代设备标准。这些对亚利桑那医疗辅助系统实验室的升级将使我们能够将这些医疗辅助系统设施改善到21世纪的条件。这将有助于我们在nsf资助的研究项目中发挥服务作用。亚利桑那州AMS实验室的科学家们在放射性碳定年和其他放射性核素研究的许多领域做出了贡献。这些升级将改善亚利桑那州AMS机器的操作条件，使我们能够继续研究，减少因设备问题和故障而导致的停机时间。该实验室也将更好地为使用我们设备的NSF研究人员提供服务。
