Accelerator Mass Spectrometry with 15UD Pelletron at IUAC is first AMS facility in India for the detection of ¹⁰Be and ²⁶Al . This facility is now open for users to carry out ¹⁰Be and ²⁶Al measurement work.

    AMS is mass spectrometry using Accelerator. AMS is used to measure the very low concentration of trace elements. These trace elements generally are long lived radioisotopes and some times stable isotopes. Long lived radioisotopes serve as tracers and chronometers in many branches of science e.g. Geology, Archeology, Hydrology, Environmental Science, Biomedicine, Cosmo-Chemistry and Nuclear Physics etc. AMS is also used to determine stable isotopes at ultra trace levels in semiconductors, geological samples and other materials.
