Radiocarbon ( 14 C) is an important atmospheric tracer and one of the many used in the understanding of the global carbon budget, which includes the greenhouse gases CO 2 and CH 4 . Measurement of radiocarbon in atmospheric CO 2 generally requires the collection of large air samples (a few liters) f...
