Abstract

A photon burst atom counter, with high isobaric and isotopic selectivity, could be used to eliminate interferences which limit sensitivity in mass spectrometers. With the addition of such a device, a conventional mass spectrometer of moderate capability should be capable of measuring isotope ratios at the 10 −15 level. A photon burst detector could also open up the heavy elements to smaller AMS machines. About half the elements of the periodic table could be studied by Photon Burst Mass Spectrometry.
