The first accelerator mass spectrometry measurements are reported for Al-26 in terrestrial samples, and the value for the atmospheric production ratio of Al-26/Be-10, which is an essential parameter for the use of this isotopic pair as an absolute dating tool, is also given. The potential of the presently disclosed technique of Al-26 measurement in small quantities of extraterrestrial material is demonstrated by measuring this isotope im mg-sized samples of lunar soil. By measuring the absolute Al-26/Al-27 ratio of two samples whose radioactive disintegration rate was known, an independent check on the Al-26 half life is obtained.
