Abstract
Small changes to our ion source and gas ionization detector have significantly improved Cl measurement by reducing source memory and increasing interference rejection. Gas stripped low energy 30 MeV <sup>36</sup>Cl<sup>5+</sup> ions are still efficiently transported to the detector but <sup>36</sup>S vs. <sup>36</sup>Cl separation is improved by an order of magnitude. Accordingly <sup>36</sup>Cl/Cl background is <10<sup>-15</sup> before additional interference correction that is also newly automated. <sup>35</sup>Cl currents have increased to 30 μA and <sup>36</sup>Cl/Cl inter-cathode repeatability is 3%.
