Accelerator mass spectrometry - from DNA to astrophysics

Author(s)

Walter Kutschera

Abstract

A brief review of accelerator mass spectrometry (AMS) is presented. The

present work touches on a few technical aspects and recent developments

of AMS, and describes two specific applications of AMS, the dating of

human DNA with the ¹⁴C bomb peak and the search for

superheavy elements in nature. Since two extended general reviews on

technical developments in AMS [1] and applications of AMS [2] will

appear in 2013, frequent reference to these reviews is made.
