Radiocarbon Dating Using Electrostatic Accelerators: Negative Ions Provide the Key
Abstract
Mass spectrometric methods have long been suggested as ways of measuring 14 C/ 12 C ratios for carbon dating. One problem has been to distinguish between 14 N and 14 C. With negative ions and a tandem electrostatic accelerator, the 14 N background is virtually absent and fewer than three 14 C atoms in 10 16 atoms of 12 C have been easily measured.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
