Abstract
A system with several lines for the preparation of graphite targets for radiocarbon analysis has been built at the
new accelerator mass spectrometry (AMS) facility in Caserta, Italy. Special attention has been paid in the design to the reduction
of background contamination during sample preparation. Here, we describe the main characteristics of these preparation
lines. Results of tests performed to measure 14C background levels and isotope fractionation in several blank samples with the
Caserta AMS system are presented and discussed.
