For almost all materials the hypervelocity regime has been reached when the impact speed above 2 km/s. A double-barreled two-stage light gas gun (TSLGG) system used for the hypervelocity impact tests is described. The proposed TSLGG can accelerate 50 g projectile masses up to velocities of 2.2 km/s. The craters produced with this equipment reach a diameter of up to 20 cm, a size unique in laboratory cratering research. The experiment results show our TSLGG system work effectively, velocity of the projectile mass is measured highly accurate by means of the proposed optical method.

The University of Washington Model FN tandem Van de Graaff accelerator is being used for the measurement of extremely small isotopic abundance ratios, notably 14C/12C and 10Be/9Be, in a joint project of the Nuclear Physics Laboratory (NPL) and the Quaternary Isotope Laboratory (QL). The experimental arrangements and technical developments are described, and some preliminary results on isotopic ratios in carbon and beryllium are presented.

An MP tandem Van de Graaff accelerator at the University of Rochester has been employed since May 1977 to detect 14C in various terrestrial samples. The carbon sample sizes required are 1mg or less. Dating accuracies based on reproducibility now approach (± 80 years). Measurements have been made on 1850 wood, Australian sucrose, a carbon sample from Mt Shasta, a baby woolly mammoth, and an Egyptian bull mummy wrapping.
