Abstract
All 14C accelerator mass spectrometry (AMS) systems exhibit backgrounds mainly from sample contamination and target preparation. The imperfections in the associated mass spectrometric systems are at present lower and near 14C/C ∼10-16. In view of the increased interest in much lower mass spectrometric background, <10-18, for the measurement of natural hydrocarbons, a short review of the existing 14C systems based upon the Tandetron accelerator will be presented. © 2004 Elsevier B.V.
