accelerator mass spectrometry

Radiocarbon dating method that determines the actual number of carbon-14 atoms in a sample rather than the small numbers of carbon-14 atoms that decay radioactively during the measurement time of the conventional method. This method requires only a tiny sample, and its measurement time is only about one hour (as opposed to days for radiocarbon dating), but it is expensive.
