Element fractionation in the petrogenesis of ocean island basalts

Analytical techniques have been developed to measure the very small [230ThP32Th] atomic ratios (3-8x10-6) typical of basaltic lavas using a single focussing mass spectrometer. Compared to conventional alpha-counting methods, the technique presented typically gives a 2-5 fold improvement in reproduci...
