A new and unique radiocarbon accelerator mass spectrometry (AMS) facility has been constructed at the
Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution. The defining characteristic of the new system is its large-gap optical elements that
provide a larger-than-standard beam acceptance. Such a system is ideally suited for high-throughput, high-precision measurements
of 14C. Details and performance of the new system are presented.
