Abstract：
The ¹⁰Be/ ⁷Be ratio is a sensitive tracer for the study of atmospheric transport, particularly with regard to stratosphere-troposphere exchange. Measurements with high accuracy and efficiency are crucial to ⁷Be and ¹⁰Be tracer studies. This article describes sample preparation procedures and analytical benchmarks for ⁷Be and ¹⁰Be measurements at the Xi'an Accelerator Mass Spectrometry (Xi'an-AMS) laboratory for the study of rainwater samples. We describe a sample preparation procedure to fabricate beryllium oxide (BeO) AMS targets that includes co-precipitation, anion exchange column separation and purification. We then provide details for the AMS measurement of ⁷Be and ¹⁰Be following the sequence BeO ^-→Be ²⁺→Be ⁴⁺in the Xi'an-AMS. The ¹⁰Be/ ⁷Be ratio of rainwater collected in Xi'an is shown to be about 1.3 at the time of rainfall. The virtue of the method described here is that both ⁷Be and ¹⁰Be are measured in the same sample, and it is suitable for routine analysis of large numbers of rainwater samples by AMS.
