MILEA (Multi-Isotope Low-Energy AMS)
With a footprint of just 3.5 m x 7 m, the space requirements of this new AMS instrument are very low. The accelerator is based on the vacuum insulated MICADAS design, which has been upgraded to support up to 300 kV. The low energy spectrometer of the new instrument comprises an achromatic combination of a 90° electrostatic and magnetic defl ector. The layout of the high energy side is inspired by the “TANDY” spectrometer (90° magnetic, 120° electrostatic and 110° magnetic deflector). A quadrupole triplet after the accelerator unit provides similar ion optical conditions for all measured isotopes and facilitates tuning. A new, improved low-noise ΔE-Eres gas ionization chamber at the back end of the new multi-isotope AMS system provides outstanding separation and identification of interfering particles.
