A Ca interlaboratory comparison between Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory (LLNL) and the Purdue Rare Isotope Laboratory (PRIME Lab) has been completed. Analysis of the ratios assayed by accelerator mass spectrometry (AMS) shows that there is no statistically significant difference in the ratios. Further, Bayesian analysis shows that the uncertainties reported by both facilities are correct with the possibility of a slight under-estimation by one laboratory. Finally, the chemistry procedures used by the two facilities to produce CaF for the cesium sputter ion source are robust and don't yield any significant differences in the final result.
劳伦斯利弗莫尔国家实验室(LLNL)与普渡大学稀有同位素实验室(PRIME Lab)之间已完成一次钙实验室间比对。对通过加速器质谱法(AMS)测定的比率进行分析表明,这些比率在统计学上没有显著差异。此外,贝叶斯分析表明,两个实验室报告的不确定度都是正确的,其中一个实验室可能略有低估。最后,两个实验室用于为铯溅射离子源制备氟化钙的化学程序是可靠的,并且在最终结果中不会产生任何显著差异。
