Abstract

Using the MP tandem-postaccelerator combination at the Munich Accelerator Laboratory, ³⁶Cl atoms extracted from various natural samples were accelerated to an energy so high that 7% of them were stripped of all their 17 electrons. This made it possible to use the isobar ³⁶S in macroscopic quantities as a guide beam to stabilize the whole system while still preserving perfect separation of ³⁶Cl and ³⁶S at the final stage. We now attain a detection sensitivity of up to 4 × 10^-15 for ³⁶Cl in natural chlorine. In the first experiments, the ³⁶Cl abundances of paleontological samples and the cosmic ray induced ³⁶Cl contents in limestone as a function of depth have been determined.
