摘要

Traditional thermal ionization mass spectrometry (TIMS) is the most common method for determination of isotope ratios and concentration (via isotope dilution) of uranium and plutonium. Despite its exemplary performance, the thermal ionization mechanism is inefficient. Total efficiencies (the ratio of ions detected/atoms of sample loaded) are typically of the order of 0.001 to 0.1% for uranium and 0.1 to 1% for plutonium; most of the available material is lost during analysis. With the goal of improving total efficiency for analysing uranium and plutonium by TIMS, a new cavity type ion source was developed and installed on a commercial magnetic sector mass spectrometer. The dimensions and geometry of this high efficiency cavity source (HECS) combine to provide a dramatic increase in ionization efficiency and, therefore, in sample utilization. Average ionization efficiencies for the new source were 5% for uranium and 7% for plutonium. Implementation of the HECS could significantly improve detection of uranium and plutonium in safeguards and environmental sampling programmes, in addition to having applications in other arenas where high sample utilization efficiency is critical.
