Description
Accelerator Mass Spectrometry (AMS) is an extremely sensitive method for
determination of rare ions. Besides ongoing applications in quite different
scientific fields it is still a rather new tool in nuclear astrophysics.
In this presentation I will show the reasons for this unique sensitivity and where
are the limits: from the table top machine too a large facility.
Applications in nuclear astrophysics range from direct determination of nuclear
synthesis in the past until measurements of relevant cross sections. Examples of
recent and also ongoing measurements will be discussed.
