Abstract

In AMS measurements on small (m ≤ 400 μg) carbon samples, a m-dependence has been noted for the 14C/12C and 13C/12C ratios that is due to the combined effect of contamination and fractionation. A simple formalism is presented to describe the phenomena and to correct measurements on unknowns for their effect.
