Description

Photon Burst Mass Spectrometry is being developed for direct measurement of noble gas isotope ratios in the 10-9 to 10-13 range. First measurements of a 85Kr sample with a 6x10-9 abundance are reported. Incremental improvements in detection efficiency and stray light should make possible measurements in the near term of 85Kr at the ambient atmospheric abundance of 10-11, with a detection limit of 10-13
