The aim of
PROTRAC project is to provide the short-lived radioactive isotopes 13N,11C
and 15O to our laboratories for experiments in atmospheric
chemistry. To study interactions between gas molecules and surface we
use highly sensitive technique which employes radioactive-labelled
molecules. The isotopes are produced by irradiation of a He/O2 carrier gas stream
in a target by a proton beam.
The target is operated in on-line mode, i.e., the carrier gas passes the target continuously for delivery of isotopes to the laboratory. The
gas is blown together with tracers of 13NO through a pipe 580 m in
length across the Aare bridge into the new research laboratory where
experiments are carried out.
