A small, low-energy cyclotron has been designed and built at Berkeley for direct detection dating of /sup 14/C. The system combines the use of a negative ion source to reject /sup 14/N with the high resolution of a cyclotron to reject other background ions. In order to allow the dating of old and small samples, the present system incorporates a high-current external ion source and injection beamline. The system is expected to be operational by mid-1987.
