The Rare-Gas-Mass Spectrometer "LIANE"

The LIANE Rare Gas MS has been designed by MAP. It has recently been upgraded by changing the detection head. The new sensorhead includes an electrostatic filter (ESF) which makes it possible to measure 36Ar (by ion-counting) and 40Ar (in a Faraday-cup) simultaneously.
LIANE is currently used to do noble gas released experiments from meteoritic diamonds and from artificial (detonation produced) diamonds into which noble gases have been implanted.
It is planned to change the gas-extraction-system so that also the isotopic composition of nitrogen can be measured.
