Radiocarbon dating uses the decay of a radioactive isotope of carbon (14C) to measure time
and date objects containing carbon-bearing material. With a half-life of 5,700±30 years …

This paper gives an overview of the origin of 14C, the global carbon cycle, anthropogenic
impacts on the atmospheric 14C content and the background of the radiocarbon dating …

The current performance of all three AMS systems in operation at ETH Zurich, the 6MV
HVEC EN-Tandem facility “TANDEM”, the 0.5 MV NEC Pelletron “TANDY”, and the 0.2 MV …

The prototype mini carbon dating system (MICADAS) at ETH Zurich has been in routine
operation for almost 2 yr. Because of its simple and compact layout, setting up a radiocarbon …

Radiocarbon dates form the basis of many archaeological chronologies that span the last
50,000 years. Since the first studies in the early 1950s the method has changed almost …

In 2010 more than 600 radiocarbon samples were measured with the gas ion source at the
MIni CArbon DAting System (MICADAS) at ETH Zurich and the number of measurements is …

Particulate matter was collected at an urban site in Göteborg (Sweden) in February/March
2005 and in June/July 2006. Additional samples were collected at a rural site for the winter …

The University of Bern has set up the new Laboratory for the Analysis of Radiocarbon with
AMS (LARA) equipped with an accelerator mass spectrometer (AMS) MICADAS (MIni …

In this study, the temporal variations of sources of black carbon (BC) concentrations were
evaluated in the metropolitan area of Milan, Italy, during three distinct seasons over 2017 …

Hydrogen produced during water-rock serpentinization reactions can drive the synthesis of
organic compounds both biotically and abiotically. We investigated abiotic carbon …
