EAR-0345822BaldwinThis grant provides funding for acquisition of an excimer laser system for the Syracuse University Noble Gas Isotope Research Laboratory (SUNGIRL). SUNGIRL currently consists of: 1) a Micromass 5400 noble gas mass spectrometer and automated extraction line, and 2) a quadrupole mass spectrometer and automated extraction line for He analysis in conjunction with (U-Th)/He dating of accessory phases. Each extraction line utilizes its own double-vacuum resistance furnace for out-gassing rocks and minerals. A shared CO2 laser system can also be used for out-gassing mineral grains (including flux monitors) in conjunction with (U-Th)/He and 40Ar/39Ar thermochronology. The focus of the thermochronology research group at Syracuse University is on determining the pressure-temperature-time-deformation (P-T-t-D) evolution of crustal terranes and quantifying rates of geologic processes. The excimer laser system will enhance graduate and undergraduate student education and training through the use of cutting-edge technology for in situ analysis. Data obtained using the proposed laser system will: 1) be highlighted in two graduate and upper-level undergraduate courses (Thermochronology and Microstructural Analysis) taught by the PIs, 2) be presented at national and international meetings, and 3) be published in the Earth Science literature. SUNGIRL employs undergraduate students through NSF REU grants and is a showcase laboratory at Syracuse University for technology in the Earth Sciences, and for women in science and technology. The laser system will be used by Syracuse University faculty, researchers, post-doctoral fellows, graduate and undergraduate students, and visiting researchers. Syracuse University will contribute 30% towards the cost of the laser system.

EAR-0345822Baldwinthis Grant为锡拉丘兹大学Noble Gas同位素研究实验室（Sungirl）获得准分子激光系统提供资金。 Sungirl目前包括：1）Micromass 5400贵重气体质谱仪和自动提取线，以及2）与（U-TH）/HE辅助阶段的约定，用于分析的四极杆质量光谱仪和自动提取线。每条提取线都利用自己的双空耐药炉来进行外向岩石和矿物质。 共享的二氧化碳激光系统也可以与（u-th）/HE和40AR/39AR热合体结合使用，用于消耗矿物晶粒（包括通量监测器）。锡拉丘兹大学的热量研究小组的重点是确定地壳地层的压力 - 温度 - 体现（P-T-T-D）演变和地质过程的量化速率。 准分子激光系统将通过使用尖端技术进行原位分析来增强学生的教育和培训。 使用拟议的激光系统获得的数据将：1）由PIS教授的两个研究生和高级本科课程（热团体学和微观结构分析）中强调，2）在国家和国际会议上介绍，3）地球科学文学。 Sungirl通过NSF REU赠款雇用了本科生，并且是锡拉丘兹大学技术领域技术和科学技术女性的展示实验室。 激光系统将由锡拉丘兹大学的教职员工，研究人员，博士后研究员，研究生和本科生以及来访的研究人员使用。锡拉丘兹大学将为激光系统的成本贡献30％。
