Accelerator Mass Spectrometry Techniques and Applications (Nuclear Science and Technology). This item is unavailable.Accelerator Mass Spectrometry Techniques and Applications (Nuclear Science and Technology)

This book highlights the advances in the technology , instrumentation , method developments , and applications of Accelerator Mass Spectrometry ( AMS ). It systematically introduces the principles and structure of AMS . The authors put emphasis on the new techniques and measurement methods of AMS , with detailed descriptions of its applications in the fields of nuclear science , archaeology , geoscience , biomedicine , and environmental science . The advances made by global researchers are mainly in three directions: (1) the miniaturization of AMS instruments; (2) inventions based on new technology and new theories , such as superionization AMS and MS; (3) new methods and applications , including measurements of noble gases 85Kr,133Xe, and 39Ar using superionization AMS , dating of human history with 41Ca, increasing 14C dating from 40 ky to more than 60 ky , and measurements with such important dating nuclides as 40K-40Ca-40Ar,87Ru-87Sr, and 187Re-187Os in geology and archeology. The book is not only a good reference for technicians of MS and accelerators but also a helpful information source on how to use AMS for researchers and graduate students in their research and work in geology, archeology, environmental science, nuclear science, materials science , and biomedicine.

Dr. Shan Jiang is a professor at China Institute of Atomic Energy (CIAE) and the founder of Qixian Nuclear (Beijing) Science and Technology Company. He serves on the Scientific Advisory Committee of the 14th and 16th International Conference of Accelerator Mass Spectrometry. Being the first person to set up an AMS system in China, he has been dedicated to the study of AMS for over three decades. He has received six national-level and ministry-level awards for the study and inventions about AMS, including the development of the super-ionization AMS and MS technology in 2018.
