Abstract
Several aspects of the AMS program at the TANDAR laboratory are discussed. The current activities are focused on environmental and cosmological applications. One of the projects has been the study of the global fallout of the radioisotope 36Cl and its latitudinal distribution in the southern hemisphere. We have also undertaken some of the preparatory work to measure the concentration of several radioisotopes in extraterrestrial samples obtained from a meteorite fall in northern Argentina. An important fraction of our effort in pursuing these studies has been the optimization of the technique in our 20UD tandem. We discuss the results of recent tests carried out to evaluate the current capabilities of the accelerator regarding general stability, predictability, and transmission efficiency, following the upgrading and adaptation activities.
