摘要
We present the improved performance of the modified in situ cosmogenic C-14 extraction system at ETH Zurich. Samples are now processed faster (2 days in total) and are measured with a high analytical precision of usually <2% using the gas ion source of the MICADAS AMS facility. Measurements of the PP-4 standard sample show a good reproducibility and consistency with published values. Procedural blanks are very low at currently similar to 4.0 x 10(4) C-14 atoms. Analyses of samples from a similar to 300 y old rock avalanche prove that we can successfully apply in situ C-14 exposure dating to very young surfaces. Additionally, we present a modified calculation scheme for in situ C-14 concentrations which differs from that used for conventional radiocarbon dating. This new approach explicitly accounts for the characteristics of in situ C-14 production. (C) 2012 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
