Abstract

Micro-ampere beams of C^– have been produced with the Aarhus negative-ion source, operated on CO₂ gas. The efficiency of the source and memory effects have been measured, using ¹³C-enriched CO₂, in order to evaluate the applicability of the source to ¹⁴C dating by accelerator mass spectroscopy.
