An online Accelerator mass spectrometry (AMS) course aimed at demonstrating, at least theoretically, that the mass-spectrometric technique which incorporates an accelerator, aptly called the AMS can achieve much higher sensitivities than are attainable with conventional mass spectrometers. Usually, the atoms to be counted are radioactive with a long half-life, and are rare. The archetypal example is 14C, which has a half-life of 5730 years and an abundance in living organisms of 10−12 relative to stable 12C. So, this is a needle in the haystack conundrum really come to life. The course will be in offered in four sessions from the 1st to the 4th of July, 2024.
