Abstract

Present status of the accelerator mass-spectrometer facility (AMS) is described. The main parts of AMS facility have been manufactured and installed at BINP. The most distinguishing features of our AMS machine are the use of the middle energy separator of ion beams and magnesium vapors target as a stripper. The results of first experiments for beam selection and background measurements are presented.
