Reaction mechanism studies on Si28(d, p)Si29 (II) interference effects

Developments in Radiocarbon Technologies: From the Libby Counter to Compound-Specific AMS Analyses

“…These negative ions were then accelerated towards a high-voltage electrode at about 5 MV, where they were changed by gas stripping into positive ions for further acceleration in order to have both the energy and ion current suitable for studying nuclear reactions. Such negative ion sources were soon known to have large memory effects, as well as also producing no detectable N ions (Kuehner et al 1960;Litherland 1962).…”
