Abstract:A new method for measuring selenium-79 with AMS, which is based on extracting molecular negative ions, is described in this paper. According to the experimental results, the extraction ion form SeO2-could depress the interference of Bromine-79 as much as 5 order levels, that is to say, the background of79Br can be deducted to79Br/Se≈10-10. By the way, the chemical form of sample and preparation flow was also developed. Finally, three79Se AMS calibration standard samples with theoretical79Se/Se ratios of 5.06×10-7, 6.87×10-8, 5.40×10-10were obtained and the method of79Se measurement was set up, which actualized transmission and detection of79Se. By using our Bragg curve detector, the two isobars79Br and79Se could be partly identified to a certain extent and79Se can be identified from79Br about 1 order level. AMS measurements of the three calibration standard samples above were performed and good linearity was obtained. The sensitivity of the measurement is (5.16±1.80)×10-11.
