Methodology and Applications of the Determination of Cosmogenic Radionuclides ¹⁰Be and ²⁶Al by Accelerator Mass Spectrometry

The measurement of cosmogenic radionuclides 10Be and 26Al by accelerator mass spectrometry (AMS) has become an invaluable tool for dating events processes in Quaternary geochronology, archaeology paleoanthropology. Here we present overview the current state research providing theoretical methodological background describe sample preparation AMS. We also summarize main geochronology calculation models exposure burial above applications analysis extra-terrestrial materials.
