  • Abstract
    26Al is routinely measured in meteorite samples by accelerator mass spectrometry (AMS). PTB participates in an international intercomparison between laboratories using AMS and gamma-ray spectrometry to improve the quality of such measurements. We performed gamma spectrometric measurements at the underground laboratory UDO using the GESPECOR software to calculate corrections for efficiency transfer, self-attenuation and coincidence summing. Four meteorite samples were measured for more than 30 days each but nevertheless, the uncertainty budgets are dominated by the uncertainties of the count rates.
