Abstract
We report on developments at the Gif-sur-Yvette AMS facility since 199 0. On the technical side these include: (i) installation of a new dual port injection line based on a rotating electrostatic analyzer design ed and constructed by IsoTrace laboratory; (ii) new estimates of Be-10 efficiency and background; (iii) the failure of one of the Delrin com pression rods on the column, resulting in the rupture of the low energ y accelerator tube; (iv) plans (unfortunately not yet fulfilled) to ad d a second high energy line to permit analysis of ions heavier than ma ss 30. We also give a brief resume of the research programs currently being carried out using Be-10 and Al-26.
