Description
Full text: Due to its long half-life (3.7My), manganese 53 could be useful for exposure-dating and erosion studies. However, this isotope has not been well explored because of the difficulty of separating it from its ubiquitous stable contaminant chromium 53. The goal of the present work is to develop the AMS technique for manganese 53 measurements, using a Gas-Filled Magnet and associated detector attached to the AMS system at the ANU. The production of calibrated 53Mn/Mn standards and the chemical separation technique to lower its chromium content is also discussed. An AMS measurement of these samples is presented.
