摘要

The light isotope of helium, He-3, is essentially a primordial substance entrapped within the Earth's interior during the formation of the planet. It is released into the atmosphere by volcanic/magmatic activity, and eventually escapes to outer space. He-3 is also produced by the radioactive beta-decay of tritium. Hence, measurements of He-3 can be used to derive the concentration of tritium. The so-called "He-3 ingrowth" method uses a mass spectrometer to detect the amount of He-3 that accumulates in a sample during a given period of storage. The He-3 measurements are classically calibrated against an air standard. The method thus relies on the accurate knowledge of the atmospheric mixing ratio of He-3. This value is based on mass spectrometric measurements with gravimetrically or volumetrically prepared He-3 standard mixtures. Here, we apply the He-3 ingrowth method in reverse, using a solution of tritiated water prepared for an international comparison of tritium activity measurements to precisely determine the He-3 mixing ratio of our air standard. The measured atmospheric mixing ratio of He-3, based on a series of ten measurements, is [He-3] = 7.12 +/- 0.06 ppt. This value is between 1% and 2% lower than previous determinations reported in the literature. However, all results remain statistically consistent.
