Are AMS 7Be measurements for a lithium solar neutrino detector practical?

  • 1. Smithsonian Astrophysical Observatory, Cambridge, MA (USA)

Description

An efficient, low-background method of measuring 7Be is necessary to make a solar neutrino detector using lithium practical. Accelerator mass spectrometric 7Be measurements with BeO sputter sources are inefficient because of the small molecule (atom) to ion conversion. By collecting the sputtered BeO, that has not been accelerated, on an aluminum electrode and preparing additional sources from the collected Be, the overall efficiency might be raised sufficiently so that a lithium solar neutrino detector would be practical
