Abstract
The distribution of longlived isotope 36Cl (T1/2=3.01×105 a) is widely spread in the world. Accelerator mass spectrometry(AMS) is presently the most sensitive method for the measurement of 36Cl. The sample preparation and AMS measurement procedure are briefly introduced. The detection methods based on the “small” AMS are also introduced, as well as their performance. The research progress on applications of 36Cl in various laboratories around the world is reviewed.
