Abstract

During 1962 the La Jolla Radiocarbon Laboratory continued to follow essentially the same technique as in previous years. Three counters were used: 1.The “Bern Counter,” an Oeschger-Houtermans instrument manufactured at the Physical Institute of the University of Bern; described in La Jolla I (p. 197).2.The “Brussels Counter,” another Oeschger-Houtermans instrument, manufactured in Brussels by Manufacture Belge de Campes et de Matériel Électronique, S. A.; characterized in La Jolla II (p. 204).3.The “400-cc La Jolla Counter,” recently constructed at the University of California, San Diego to facilitate the age determination of samples containing less than 1 g of carbon. Because the first model, now in use, was constructed of brass—not the optimal material—the background count is relatively high (ca. 5.0 counts/min). Advantages lie in its high stability. For samples that yield 0.5 L or more of acetylene, this counter can be used quite satisfactorily. Check runs, using the same sample in this counter and in the Bern and Brussels counters, agree closely.
