Abstract
An AMS facility has been installed on the 6 MV tandem accelerator at t he Shanghai Institute of Nuclear Research. The main features of this f acility are described. During one year's operation, a first set of app lications has been performed: some relics of early civilizations have been dated, Be-10 formation cross sections induced by deuterons on Be- 9 have been measured, and the Be-10 concentrations in deep sea sedimen ts and manganese nodules collected from the South China Sea and Pacifi c Ocean respectively have also been measured. Methods employed to redu ce the background are discussed.
