An in situ technique for (U-Th-Sm)/He and U-Pb double dating

We report on a new laser-based technique for rapid, quantitative and automated in situ double dating (U-Pb and (U-Th-Sm)/He) of minerals, for applications in geochronology, thermochronology and geochemistry. In situ laser microanalysis offers several advantages over conventional bulk crystal methods...
