A new Scottish AMS laboratory complements existing local facilities for radiocarbon and other cosmogenic isotope environmental research. A 5 MV Pelletron based accelerator mass spectrometer has been installed in a purpose-built building. The instrument is intended for routine Be-10, C-14, Al-26, Cl-36 and I-129-AMS as well as for developing CO2 sample measurement and science. (C) 2004 Published by Elsevier B.V.
