| DRAFT DEFINITION |
| Accelerator mass spectrometry |
|---|
| A mass spectrometry technique in which atoms extracted from a sample are ionized, accelerated to MeV energies and separated according to their momentum, charge and energy. |
| Considered between 2004 and 2006 but not included in the 2006 PAC submission |
| This is an unofficial draft definition presented for information and comment. |
Orange Book Entry
An ultra-sensitive technique using tandem accelerators employed mainly for the study of long-lived radioisotopes, and stable isotopes at very low abundances (10-12 - 10-15).
