A dating method with 39Ar

The principles of a dating method based on the cosmic-ray-produced radioisotope 39Ar are given. Technical requirements such as background and standard gas samples and gas proportional counting systems are described. With samples extracted from Greenland ice it can be demonstrated that39Ar ages agree...
