Accelerator Mass Spectrometry (AMS)
AMS is today’s most sensitive isotopic analysis method.
Using a particle accelerator, usually a Tandem type, the AMS spectrometer measures one by one the ions of the investigated species.
Measurement sensitivity can reach down to 10 -15 rare isotope / abundant isotope, in other words, AMS allows the determination of the existence of
a single atom in torrent of one million billion other foreign atoms.
Due to its exceptional sensitivity, this method has opened a very wide range of applications in various fields:
