GeMSE: A new Low-Background Facility for Meteorite and Material Screening
, 2015 We are currently setting up a facility for low-background gamma-ray spectrometry based on a HPGe detector. It is dedicated to material screening for the XENON and DARWIN dark matter projects as well as to the characterization of meteorites.

Gold and palladium as indicators of an extraterrestrial component in the Cetaceous/Tertiary boundary layer at Woodside Creek and Chancet Quarry, Marlborough, New Zealand : a thesis presented in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Science in Earth Sciences at Massey University [PDF]
, 1998 It is widely believed that a large meteorite approximately 10 km in diameter impacted Earth at the termination of the Cretaceous Period with cosmic velocity, vaporising itself, along with a greater mass of the terrestrial target rocks into a cloud of hot

Lithium Isotopic Analysis of Spodumene by Secondary Ion Mass Spectrometry
Rapid Communications in Mass Spectrometry, Volume 40, Issue 13, 15 July 2026.ABSTRACT Rationale Lithium (Li) stable isotopes can provide insight into fluid–rock interaction and magmatic differentiation. Therefore, it is essential to develop an accurate and precise method to determine the Li isotope signature in spodumene.

The Moss (CO3) meteorite: an integrated isotopic, organic and mineralogical study [PDF]
, 2007 The recent Moss meteorite fall presents a unique opportunity to investigate the processes that operated on the CO3 parent body. The results of an integrated study indicate that alteration on the CO3 asteroid was more complex than previously ...

Geostandards and Geoanalytical Research, Volume 50, Issue 2, Page 341-367, June 2026.Key Points We recommend using the notation δ122/118SnNIST SRM 3161a for mass‐dependent Sn isotope data. We derived conversion factors relative to NIST SRM 3161a for Puri Sn CEZA (0.132 ± 0.011‰), Sn Lyon (0.229 ± 0.016‰), Sn IPGP (0.162 ± 0.018‰). Tin isotope compositions are presented for SPEX CertiPrep Sn and nine USGS reference materials.
