Abstract

10Be has been widely studied over the last few years. The sensitivity offered by the Accelerator Mass Spectrometry technique (AMS) expands the efficient detection of 10Be by 4-5 orders of magnitude. The chemical species most used in the measurement of 10Be by AMS is beryllium oxide (BeO), which has been shown to offer the best conditions for measurements. In this work, several parameters in the BeO formation have been analyzed. The results show the efficiency of the protocol used but suggest that using Ag instead of Nb as a conductor could improve the measurement conditions.
