Live (not decayed) radioisotopes on the Earth and Moon are messengers from recent
nearby astrophysical explosions. Measurements of 60Fe in deep-sea samples, Antarctic …

Accelerator mass spectrometry (AMS) was born in the late 1970s, when it was realized at
nuclear physics laboratories that the accelerator systems can be used as a sensitive mass …

A setup for ion-laser interaction was coupled to the state-of-the-art AMS facility VERA five
years ago and its potential and applicability as a new means of isobar suppression in …

Abstract The Ion Laser InterAction Setup (ILIAS) project at the University of Vienna aims at
the exploration of negative ion beam filtering by selective laser photodetachment for …

The long-lived radioisotope 182 Hf (T 1/2= 8.9 Ma) is of high astrophysical interest as its
potential abundance in environmental archives would provide insight into recent r-process …

This review covers developments in 'Atomic Spectrometry'. It covers atomic emission,
absorption, fluorescence and mass spectrometry, but excludes material on speciation and …

Laser photodetachment is the process when the extra electron of a negative ion is removed
by means of laser radiation. This can happen only if the photon energy is larger than the …

For removal of the natural isobar 182W interference prior to ultra-trace 182Hf determination
by accelerator mass spectrometry, an extraction chromatographic method for separation of …

RATIONALE An experimental Isobar Separator for Accelerator Mass Spectrometry (ISAMS)
instrument has been used to demonstrate an on‐line separation of HfF5− from its isobar …

Spontaneous and photo-induced decay processes of HfF 5− and WF 5− molecular anions
were investigated in the Double ElectroStatic Ion Ring ExpEriment (DESIREE). The …
