Abstract
Purdue University has brought into operation a new NSF/NASA facility d edicated to accelerator mass spectrometry. Based on a 7.5 MV FN tandem , Be-10, Al-26, and Cl-36 are being measured at a rate of 1500 samples per year. Research involves primarily 1) earth science studies using cosmogenic radionuclides produced in the atmosphere and measured in ra in, groundwater, and soils, 2) Quaternary geomorphology and climatolog y studies using in-situ produced radionuclides, 3) planetary science s tudies using a wide variety of meteorites and radionuclides, and 4) bi omedical tracer studies using Al-26.
