Status Report of the Aarhus AMS facility — •Klaus Bahner and Jan Heinemeier — AMS 14C Dating Centre, University of Aarhus, Ny Munkegade 120, 8000 Aarhus C, Denmark

The AMS 14C Dating Centre at Aarhus University is portrayed in this status report. The facility is based on an HVEC EN tandem accelerator and the system is briefly described. Technical developments during the past years were the transition to a replacement charging belt and, more recently, the installation of a high-intensity sputter source, which is used in routine operations since December 2009. Technical details of using the new charging belt type and a first performance evaluation of the new ion source are presented.
