Accelerator mass spectrometry (AMS) is a nuclear physics technique developed about twenty years ago, that uses the high energy (several MeV) of a tandem Van de Graaff accelerator to measure very small quantities of rare and long-lived isotopes. Elements that are of interest in biomedicine and enviro
## Abstract A new method of general applicability for determining the percentage deuterium labeling in organic compounds is described. It uses the heights of ‘metastable peaks’ in the mass spectrum to determine the relative amounts of deuterated and undeuterated species. The method is illustrated b
The concentrations of organically-bound 14 C in tree-ring cellulose of a Japanese Black Pine grown in Shika-machi (37.0°N, 136.8°E) and those of a Japanese Cedar grown in Kanazawa (36.5°N, 136.7°E), Japan, were analyzed for the ring-years from 1989 to 1998 by the accelerator mass spectrometric measu
