User access - FWIR

Of course, we are performing AMS measurements also for external users. For scientific purposes you can apply for beamtime. Detailed instructions about the procedure are given in "How to get AMS data from DREAMS for external users". After positive evaluation by an (external) committee, you will get free beamtime at DREAMS for your samples. Before starting to write a proposal, please contact us for further information.

An overview of all ion beam methods (modification and analytics) and add-on-services can be found in the "Ion Beam Centre Flyer". Page 7 contains the AMS part.

If you want to perform AMS sample preparation in your own lab, please contact us at the latest BEFORE pressing BeO, Al₂O₃ etc. in target holders finding out DREAMS specifications such as the best compound-metal mixing ratio (BeO:Nb, 1:4; Al₂O₃:Ag, 1:1; CaF₂:Ag, 1:4., Rugel et al. 2013), nomenclature, labelling of cathodes and containers.

Additionally, we offer "in-house-training" for AMS sample preparation in our chemistry labs at HZDR, which are already functional since 2009. Unique in Germany, is the possibility to prepare ³⁶Cl- and ¹²⁹I-samples in a Cl- and S-free lab environment (see also above). If you are interested in setting up your own sample preparation labs, please do not hesitate to contact us for our mentoring programme.
