Advantages and disadvantages of carbon 14 dating

A fluorescence event is proportional to the decay event of C14; and the frequency is proportional to the number of C14 atoms in the sample.
Instead of measuring the radioactivity of the sample (as in LCS); Accelerator Mass Spectrometry (AMS) counts directly the radiocarbon atoms.
With radiocarbon Radiocarbon dating is reliant on a carbon isotope, one of two or more atoms having the same atomic number but different atomic masses (1), known as carbon 14.
There are three naturally occurring isotopes of carbon. Carbon 14 is extremely rare: one carbon 14 atom exists for every 1,000,000,000,000 carbon 12 atoms in living matter. When an organism dies there is no longer an uptake of C14 from the environment, only decay. The radioactive C14 atoms decay with a constant half-life Libby calculated at 5568 - 30 years.
The sample is converted into a beam of ions whose mass is measured by the addition of magnetic and electric fields.
This can happen when samples pick up the wrong carbon from packing materials, are exposed to atmospheric radiocarbon or experience cross-contamination with other samples.
It allows people to see into the past and learn about ancient civilizations.
Perhaps with proper use of this powerful tool we can learn about the past and look to the future.
