Description
The National Ocean Sciences Accelerator Mass Spectrometry (NOSAMS) facility at the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution operates two 14C AMS systems. The first system was purchased from the US-AMS Corporation and utilizes a 3 MV tandetron accelerator with a 59-sample sputter source. The second of these two systems is based around a 500 kV National Electrostatics Corporation Pelletron accelerator and incorporates both a 134-sample conventional graphite sputter source and a unique, gas-accepting, microwave ion source. Status and operational experiences with both accelerator systems will be presented.
