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，为美国研究界提供基于加速器的质谱（AMS）能力，用于测量宇宙起源核素10Be、14C、26Al、36Cl和129I。该设施的技术目标是开发和校准用于分析在自然样品中发现的极低浓度宇宙形成放射性核素的方法。分析数据用于示踪和地质年代学方法，用于研究岩石、土壤、地下水和地外物质的地质历史。＊＊＊

9809983 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 nuclides 10Be, 14C, 26Al, 36Cl, and 129I for the U.S. research community. The technical goals of the facility are to develop and calibrate methods for the analysis of very low concentrations of cosmogenic radionuclides found in natural samples. The analytical data are used in tracer and geochronological methods applied to studies of the geological history of rocks, soils, ground water and extraterrestrial materials. ***
