A second ion source was recently installed onto the LLNL 1-MV AMS spectrometer, which is dedicated to the quantification of 14C and 3H within biochemical samples. This source is unique among the other LLNL cesium sputter ion sources in that it can ionize both gaseous and solid samples. Also, the inj...
