Accelerator mass spectrometry

Accelerator mass spectrometry logo #21000 Accelerator mass spectrometry (AMS) differs from other forms of mass spectrometry in that it accelerates ions to extraordinarily high kinetic energies before mass analysis. The special strength of AMS among the mass spectrometric methods is its power to separate a rare isotope from an abundant neighboring mass (`abundance sensitivity`, e.g. 14C .....
