Abstract
Sample target preparation techniques for radiocarbon dating by accelerator mass spectrometry (AMS) are reviewed. The procedures leading to AMS targets are internally reproducible yet often result in targets of varying stability, duration and ion beam yield. Sample size requirements, factors affecting background and ion beam stability are some of the variables that are considered.
