Accelerator mass spectrometry for a wide range of applications: from climate studies to geology and nuclear astrophysics — •Markus Schiffer — Institute for Nuclear Physics, University of Cologne, Germany
CologneAMS is a new centre for accelerator mass spectrometry (AMS) at the University of Cologne dedicated for measurements of cosmogenic nuclides. It was funded by the German Research Foundation (DFG) to improve the experimental measurement capabilities, especially for those German scientists which apply the high sensitivity of the AMS technique for their scientific research in the fields of geoscience, environmental physics and nuclear astrophysics.
The status of the facility will be presented as well as examples of projects by the University of Cologne, from climate studies, erosion, exposure and burial dating to nuclear waste management. The development of a new AMS setup at the 10 MV FN accelerator opens the field of research to nuclear astrophysics, as for instance the search for 60Fe and 244Pu in lake sediment drilling cores with respect to astrophysical models.
