Abstract

The new single-stageaccelerator mass spectrometer at SUERC can also accept positiveions. Potential benefits of positiveion measurement with suitable ionsources are more convenient sample form, smaller sample size, a variety of available charge states and maybe new applications. We have begun with oxygen isotope analyses to demonstrate destruction of interfering molecules.
