Accelerator mass produced radionuclides

The most famous cosmogenic radionuclide is 14C (t1/2 = 5730 a), which is produced by the interaction of cosmic ray neutrons via an (n,p) reaction with nitrogen [14N(n, p)14C], whereas the radioactive decay of 14C takes place by (3 decay to form the stable 14N isotope. 14C is the most important cosmogenic radionuclide for dating (see Section 9.7.5) in archaeology and can be analyzed using isotope sensitive accelerator mass spectrometry. Extremely small isotope ratios 14C/12C = 12 in nature can be measured by means of AMS.28... [Pg.413]
