Abstract
An accelerator mass spectrometry (ams) system has been set up at the postaccelerator of the Munich tandem laboratory. This system allows background-free ams measurements with completely stripped ions of masses up to 40. In first experiments, the 36Cl abundances of palaeontological samples and the cosmic ray induced 36Cl contents in limestone as a function of depth have been determined. 36Cl has been used as pilot beam for the stabilization of the system. The detection limit is 36Cl/Cl = 4 × 10-15. A search for negative 36Ar ions has been undertaken.
