Abstract

Accelerator mass Spectrometry is a high sensitivity technique for the detection of numerous long-lived radionuclides at extremely low concentrations. The present use of this measurement tool is primarily in archeology and the geosciences. However, novel applications and technological advancements that can have a significant impact on biomedical research, clinical procedures and environmental investigations have been identified. We are designing and are in the process of testing two small spectrometer concepts. One spectrometer is optimized to measure only hydrogen isotopes, while the second concept is designed to measure both carbon and hydrogen isotopes simultaneously.
