Abstract

This study reports U–Pb geochronological data for zircon obtained by laser ablation-multi-collector-ICP-MS using a new collector block design that includes three ion counters and twelve Faraday buckets. The collector configuration allows for simultaneous detection of ion signals from mass 238U to 203Tl, an important factor for the achievement of highly precise and reproducible Pb–Pb and Pb–U ratios. The main advantage of the multiple ion counting system is the capability to readily measure low Pb ion signals ( 50) of zircon grains.
