摘要
Detector sensitivity and purification challenges have limited published Si-32 sediment dating studies. The cosmogenic isotope Si-32 can fill the sediment geochronology gap between Pb-210 (< 150 years) and C-14 (> 1000 years). Targeting this age range can provide geochronological reconstructions of paleoindicators that identify recent human and climate-induced shifts in coastal areas. We are preparing detectors and kilogram-scale sample preparation techniques for such a study of Puget Sound sediments. This work considers the impact of background on counting time and Si-32 age-dating reach. Design and performance of new low-background, gas-proportional beta counters to measure Si-32 (via P-32) are discussed.
