Abstract

The accelerator mass spectrometry system developed at the Rehovot 14UD Pelletron tandem laboratory has been used in measurements of abundances of cosmogenic nuclei. Measurements of 36Cl concentrations in natural water samples from the Jordan River and Dead Sea Basin are presented in the framework of a 36Cl budget analysis of the Dead Sea. The feasibility of 41Ca detection at concentrations ranging down to 1 × 10-13 by tandem accelerator mass spectrometry has been demonstrated.
