摘要
We developed and experimentally confirmed a Monte Carlo simulation code to describe the trajectories of Cl-36 and S-36 ions in a gas-filled magnet (GFM) at the MALT, the University of Tokyo. The simulation revealed that the central trajectories of the ions in the GFM are almost spiral and most of the 36S ions collided with the interior wall of the GFM. Based on this property of the trajectories, we have found a more advantageous condition for suppressing 36S. As a result, the background level of the Cl-36/Cl ratio was lowered to 10(-15) (c) 2007 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
