Abstract
The Be-7(2)- dimer has been observed for the first lime in an experime nt aiming to perform C-14 measurements by Accelerator Mass Spectrometr y (AMS) using an ion source previously utilized for the production of a radioactive Be-7 beam. It was found that detection of the undissocia ted dimer in the 3(+) charge state simulates C-14, contributing signif icantly to the background in isotopic ratios measurements.
