Abstract
The Cl concentration measured by PGAA can be used to calculate the amount of isotopically enriched spike for AMS-ID sample preparation with the aim to optimize 36Cl analysis. Furthermore, PGAA offers an advance for the interpretation of 36Cl measurements. It allows measurement of concentrations of major, minor and trace elements including the elements for 36Cl production (Cl, K, Ca, Ti, and Fe), as well as of neutron absorbers and neutron moderators (H, B, Sm and Gd). These measurements are performed simultaneously and with a precision necessary for calculating the relative contributions to 36Cl production from the different mechanisms.
