Recent developments at the Antares AMS Centre

In conjunction with an extensive radiocarbon program, ANTARES has also carried out AMS measurement of the radioisotopes 26Al and 36Cl with the recent addition of 129I. Development of an AMS measurement capability for 10Be and for the actinides is underway. These projects pose a range of technical challenges both in spectrometer performance and in sample preparation. This paper discusses the special aspects of the facility that have been developed to meet these needs, with emphasis on 36Cl, 129I and plans for future actinide measurements
