High-intensity ion sources are now capable of producing negative molecular ion beams of Ca of >2μA (Middleton et al, 1989). This and the advanced status of 41Ca AMS at several laboratories (Pennsylvania, Argonne National Laboratory, Rochester, Munich, Weizmann Institute) have revived interest in 41Ca (T1/2 = 1.0×105 yr (Mabuchi et al, 1974)) as a possible dating tool (Yamaguchi, 1963; Raisbeck & Yiou, 1979; Kubik et al, 1986).
