Abstract

To investigate the feasibility of a solar neutrino experiment using **2**0**5Tl as a geological detector the authors have performed a series of measurements at the GSI heavy-ion facility UNILAC studying accelerator mass spectrometry of the heavy radioisotope **2**0**5Pb (T// one-half equals 14 mio years). A suppression of neighboring masses is observed to better than 10** minus **1**6, and an elemental resolution between Pb and Tl through energy-loss difference with a passive-absorber of Z/ DELTA Z approx. 100 is obtained. These results, which are possible due to the high energy and good beam quality provided by the UNILAC, suggest the feasibility of detecting neutrino-produced **2**0**5Pb provided the overall efficiency of the system, dominated by the low ion source efficiency can be considerably increased.
