Scientific paper

Well-established data on production-rates of long-lived radionuclides are important for the understanding and calculation of various nucleosynthesis processes. However, lack of information exists for a list of nuclides as pointed out by nuclear-data requests. In addition, the search for supernova (SN)-produced radionuclides will give an improved insight into explosive scenarios. Accelerator mass spectrometry (AMS) represents a technique, which is capable to quantify such long-lived radionuclides using mass spectrometric methods. The potential of AMS is presented here as a powerful tool for probing nucleosynthesis. Applications of AMS are exemplified for a few specific cases: the detection of extraterrestrial radioactivity on Earth in terrestrial archives as a signature of nearby SN explosions, and the measurement of cross-sections, as an important ingredient for stellar as well as nuclear model calculations.
