Why Accelerator Mass spectrometry (AMS) The determination of the concentration of a given radionuclide in a sample can be done in 2 ways: a) measure the radiation emitted during the decay b) count the number of atoms themselves In many cases where concentrations and/or small or long T 1/2 this becomes impractical 1mg carbon  6 x 10 7 at. 14 C  ~1 decay/hour In a Mass Spectrometer a sample material is converted to an ion beam that is then magnetically (and electrostatically) analysed MS separates ions by their mass only

What is Accelerator Mass spectrometry (AMS)? In many cases a high background (molecular, isobaric, …) makes it impossible to separate the ions of interest. The use of an accelerator in AMS makes it possible to go to much higher energies (several MeV vs. keV) and the measurement of a range of properties that do not depend on ionic charge. - Range - Stopping power - TOF An unambiguous (A, Z) identification would solve this problem (A, Z) The high sensitivity of the method makes it possible to measure down to several counts per hour from a beam of the order of microamperes (1.6  A ~ 1 x ions).
