The Helsinki Accelerator Mass Spectrometry Facility (HAMS) is the only AMS system in Finland. Most radiocarbon determinations (research and industry) in Finland are done by us. High quality of the ...
We are home to one of a new generation of ultra-compact AMS instruments, a MICADAS accelerator mass spectrometer, designed and built at ETH, Zurich. The MICADAS is a high-precision, high throughput ...
They examined the proportion of boron isotopes using accelerator mass spectrometry. The results surprised them. "At around 10 million years, we found almost twice as much [boron-10 isotope] as we ...
This intricate process requires the identification and counting of individual atoms through accelerator mass spectrometry.
Art forgery can be lucrative and go undetected, but analysis techniques, including radiocarbon dating using accelerator mass spectrometry (AMS), can reveal the fakes. “Nuclear analytical techniques ...
The heart of the BRAMS Facility is a MICADAS MIni CArbon DAting System. The Bristol MICADAS is equipped with a 200 kV tandem accelerator employing helium stripping, which gives a transmission of ...
Researchers mapped the advance and retreat of the Cordilleran Ice Sheet, which covered large parts of North America during the Pleistocene, utilising accelerator mass spectrometry measurements of ...
Other methods, like regular mass spectrometry, can detect hundreds of molecules but don't work on intact samples, so ...
In our Lab we use Secondary Ion Mass-Spectrometry (SIMS) and X-ray Photoelectron Spectroscopy (XPS) as powerful tools for analyzing material surfaces at the atomic and molecular level with high ...
