Performance of iodine beam line for accelerator mass spectrometry

Suzuki, Takashi  ; Kitamura, Toshikatsu; Kabuto, Shoji; Togawa, Orihiko ; Kinoshita, Naoki; Amano, Hikaru

An accelerator mass spectrometry has been set up at the Mutsu Establishment of Japan Atomic Energy Agency. This AMS has two independent beam lines, optimized for $$^{14}$$C and $$^{129}$$I measurements. For the $$^{129}$$I measurement, precision and reproducibility was 2.0 - 1.5% and 1.5 - 0.7%, respectively at the acceptance test in July 2000, and after that, exchange of MCP and re-alignment improved precision and reproducibility to 0.6% and 0.26%, respectively. The results of testing standard materials, which have a variety of iodine isotopic ratios ($$^{129}$$I/$$^{127}$$I), showed that this beam line has excellent measurement accuracy between 10$$^{-10}$$ and 10$$^{-12}$$ iodine isotopic ratios, and the detection limit is substantially below the 10$$^{-13}$$ iodine isotopic ratio. Sub-standard samples were normalized to NIST SRM 3230 standard reference material, and the iodine isotopic ratio was (1.21$$pm$$0.01)$$times$$10$$^{-10}$$ for Iso Trace Lab. Standard, (7.22$$pm$$0.03)$$times$$10$$^{-11}$$ for Standard No. 3K and (2.77$$pm$$0.03)$$times$$10$$^{-11}$$ for Standard No. 3i.
