Summary
Accelerator mass spectrometry (AMS) is an interdisciplinary tool used to answer research questions like: What is the pulse of the Sun? When did the Viking Age start? When did humans migrate out of Africa? What is the temporal change of glaciers? by measuring the isotopes of 10Be, 14C and 26Al. Together with a diverse group of researchers we wish to strengthen the AMS facility at Aarhus University.
