Isotope workshop in New Zealand Isotope workshop in New Zealand, Wednesday 11 th - Friday 13 th August 1999. This workshop is to discuss and demonstrate isotope techniques which can observe assimilate transport and partitioning in plants. For practical reasons numbers may be limited. The venue is the Nuclear Sciences laboratory of the NZ Institute of Geological and Nuclear Sciences in Lower Hutt near Wellington, where Van der Graaf accelerators have been used to generate isotopes for these applications for many years, and more recently for accelerator mass spectrometry.
Likely topics are as follows.
Isotope Production Detection and Analysis Reports of applications Demonstration experiments which may be arranged by request. For rare isotopes like 14 C, AMS has the advantage that it measures each atom reaching the detector rather than just those that happen to decay during the measurement period selected.
