GERDA meetingDubna27-29/06/2005 Natural Ge crystal contamination measurement and Isotopic ratio determination by ICP-MS LNGS Chemistry Service S. Nisi
Analysis method • Ge crystal dissolution HNO3+HF+H2O 1:1:1 • Dilution of samples and spiked samples preparation to check the procedure • Measurement of contamination and isotopic ratio by ICP-MS Agilent Technologies model 7500a (quadrupole mass analyzer)
Ge isotopic measurement for GNO BLUE VALUE=LNGS measure carried out by ICP-MS (quadrupole mass analyzer) RED VALUE=MC-ICP-MS (double focusing-multicollector) carried out from ITU of JRC Karlsrhue
Conclusion • Concerning the contamination measurement of Ge crystal could be possible a little improvement (2or3 factor) of the sensitivity for some elements but we are close to the DL • About the isotopic composition will be possible measure the enriched crystal with the same accuracy and precision
