Dating by 14C measurements. • Samples of milligrams • 30 min measurements • 1% accuracy • Limit in 50000 years Isabel Gómez Martínez y Javier Santos Arévalo
239,240Pu measurements in sediments • Green: USA nuclear tests • Moratory between 1958 y 1961 • -Red: USSR tests • -Blue: French and chinese tests. AMS separates 239Pu from 240Pu. Measurement 30 min, 5% uncertainty. Detection limit 4 μBq. Elena Chamizo Calvo
Vertical Objectives for 2010-2013 • Ion Beam Analysis Techniques: Remain as the national reference centre in IBA techniques, in material science, archeometry, environmental sciences. • Accelerator Mass Spectrometry: Consolidate as a European reference in AMS. through a service of 14C dating, Pu isotope separation, and research in accelerator mass spectrometry of different isotopes. • Nuclear Instrumentation: Become a national reference centre in the development of detectors and nuclear instrumentation, and offer a home basis for the nuclear and particle scientists working in large international facilities. • Molecular Imaging: Become a national reference in the development of new radio-pharmaceuticals, and the use of PET imaging techniques, in pre-clinical research in animals and clinical research in humans. • Irradiation: Become a reference laboratory to carry out certified irradiation tests, both with particles and photons, in circuits, solar panels, and other materials of interest for high technology and aero-space companies.
Action 5: Upgrade of the beam lines in the Tandem and Cyclotron:
Practical cases of CNA usage • I wish to check the purity of my Si detector (IBA Service) • I wish to test the radiation hardness of my electronics (Proposal) • I wish my student/technician to get some some accelerator expertise (Stay-Course) • I wish to test the array I am collaborating in (Proposal-Collaboration) • I wish to develop a new beam line for my research (Letter of intent)
