Popis: The accelerator mass spectrometry (AMS) program that is under development using the 20UD electrostatic accelerator TANDAR at Buenos Aires is presented. Tests and measurements in order to evaluate and to improve the accelerator performance are described. Preliminary measurements have been done by tuning 14C beams using as detection system a ΔE-ER telescope. For the detection of heavier isotopes some new developments are being currently implemented in a quadrupole-dipole-dipole (QDD) magnetic spectrometer. Furthermore, work is in progress to construct a time-of-flight system using two micro-channel plates prior to the entrance to the QDD spectrometer.
