Description
A new AMS lab has been established at the Curt-Engelhorn-Centre for Achaeometry, Mannheim, Germany, based on the compact MICADAS (Mini Carbon Dating System). After 1 year of operation we can demonstrate the high stability and ease of operation of the MICADAS concept. We are confident that we can obtain a precision of modern samples, e.g. for carbon cycle studies, at the 2 permille level. The 200 kV design results in a comparatively low initial budget and economic operational costs.
