التأريخ بالكربون المشع

التأريخ بالكربون المشع Radiocarbon dating،هو تقدير عمر الصخور باستخدام الكربون-14، وهو عنصر مشع له عمر نصف قصير، بحيث يستخدم في تقدير عمر مواد يقل عمرها عن 70000 سنة.

 خلفية فيزيائية وكيميائية

1: Formation of carbon-14
2: Decay of carbon-14
3: The equation is for living organisms, and the inequality is for dead organisms, in which the 14 C then decays (See 2).

 القياسات والمقاييس

The use of accelerator mass spectrometers can improve the sensitivity of radiocarbon dating.

Calibration curve for the radiocarbon dating scale. Data sources: Stuiver et al. (1998). Samples with a real date more recent than AD 1950 are dated and/or tracked using the N- & S-Hemisphere graphs. See following figure.

Atmospheric 14 C, New Zealand and Austria. The New Zealand curve is representative for the Southern Hemisphere, the Austrian curve is representative for the Northern Hemisphere. Atmospheric nuclear weapon tests almost doubled the concentration of 14 C in the Northern Hemisphere.
