Facility Support: The Purdue Rare Isotope Measurement Laboratory

EAR-0112480Elmore该奖项为普渡稀有同位素测量实验室(Prime Lab)的运营和维护提供部分资金，该实验室是一个由NSF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分析(AMS)能力，测量宇宙成因核素10Be、14C、26Al、36Cl、41Ca和129I。该设施的技术目标是开发和校准在天然样品中发现的极低浓度宇宙源放射性核素的分析方法。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史。***

EAR-0112480ElmoreThis award provides partial funding for the operation and maintenance of the Purdue Rare Isotope Measurement Laboratory (PRIME Lab), 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, 41Ca, 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. ***
