Title: Accelerator mass spectrometry: from nuclear physics to dating

Journal Article · · Radiocarbon; (United States)
OSTI ID:7038769

Several applications of accelerator-based mass spectroscopy are reviewed. Among these are the search for unknown species, determination of comogenic radioisotopes in natural materials and measurements of half-lifes, especially those of significance to dating. Accelerator parameters and techniques of importance for these applications are also considered.
