Accelerator mass spectrometry employs techniques of nuclear physics to extend the applicability of the mass spectrometer to unprecedentedly low analyte concentrations. The motivation behind this development has been the need to analyse vanishingly small concentrations of cosmogenic nuclides such as 10Be and 14C in the presence of enormously greater amounts of the common isotopes of the same elements.
