Subject: 36/40Ar development with MCIS 

Beam development for forthcoming 36Ar run is in progress. Initial yield numbers have been determined. Source is running with Ar plasma presently, and tests will be repeated after source has conditioned for a while. The goal is to determine yield numbers of 40Ar and scale these to beam to be produced with source gas of enriched 36Ar. FYI:

Naturally occuring isotopes of argon:

Ar-36 ( 0.3365% )
Ar-38 ( 0.0632% )
Ar-40 ( 99.6003% )
