Analytical Equipment Request: Purchase of Thermal Ionization Mass Spectrometer for the Department of Earth and Space Sciences

该合同为购买一台现代多集热器热电离源质谱仪提供了45%的资金，该质谱仪将在加州大学洛杉矶分校地球与空间科学系安装和运行。大学承诺提供剩余的55%。加州大学洛杉矶分校正在建立一个主要的同位素地球化学中心，而这个设备是这项工作的重要组成部分。光谱仪将用于广泛的研究应用，从地壳-地幔系统的演化到火山和地壳岩石的研究，再到分析矿物相之间的元素和同位素分配。

This award provides funds for 45% of the cost of acquiring a modern multicollector thermal ionization source mass spectrometer that will be installed and operated in the Department of Earth and Space Sciences at the University of California, Los Angeles. The University is committed to providing the remaining 55%. UCLA is establishing a major center for isotope geochemistry, and this equipment is a vital part of that effort. The spectrometer will be used in a wide spectrum of research applications, ranging from the evolution of the crust-mantle system through studies of volcanic and crustal rocks and to analysis of elemental and isotopic partitioning between mineral phases.
