Optimization of a Laser Ablation‐Single Collector‐Inductively Coupled Plasma‐Mass Spectrometer (Thermo Element 2) for Accurate, Precise, and Efficient Zircon U‐Th‐Pb Geochronology

Optimization of a Laser Ablation‐Single Collector‐Inductively Coupled Plasma‐Mass Spectrometer (Thermo Element 2) for Accurate, Precise, and Efficient Zircon U‐Th‐Pb Geochronology

Abstract Many applications specific to detrital mineral U‐Th‐Pb geochronology in the Earth sciences necessitate large numbers of age observations to be made from samples and require accurate and precise isotope measurements across wide dynamic ranges in elemental concentrations and signal intensitie...
