Status of the 300 kV multi isotope AMS project — •Sascha Maxeiner, Hans-Arno Synal, Marcus Christl, Martin Suter, Arnold Müller, and Christof Vockenhuber — Laboratory for Ion Beam Physics (LIP), ETH Zurich, Switzerland

The goal of the presented 300 kV multi isotope project is the development of a compact AMS system capable of measuring a wide range of isotopes including ¹⁰Be, ¹⁴C, ²⁶Al, ⁴¹Ca, ¹²⁹I and the actinides. The high voltage platform for tandem acceleration is housed in a vacuum insulated chamber and fed by a commercial power supply. Helium stripper gas feeding from ground, compactness, good vacuum but sufficient areal stripper gas density are key features of the accelerator. Some of the latest technical improvements to achieve stable operation conditions will be discussed and results of AMS measurements with a prototype setup are presented.
