technique for measuring long-lived radioisotopes in very small samples in
natural concentrations. The limits of this method depend strongly on atomic
collisions. The following processes are of relevance: Small angle scattering
on screened coulomb potentials, charge changing processes (ionisation and electron capture) and energy loss of the projectiles. These processes will be discussed based on models and experimental data and there relevance for AMS will be shown on specific examples.
