Radiocarbon dating: Carbon-14 is a radioactive isotope of carbon that decays by emitting a beta particle. In the earth’s atmosphere, approximately one carbon atom in is carbon-14. Living organisms exchange carbon with the atmosphere, so this same ratio holds for living tissue. After an organism dies, it stops exchanging carbon with its environment, and its carbon-14 ratio decreases exponentially with time. The rate at which beta particles are emitted from a given mass of carbon is proportional to the carbon-14 ratio, so this rate decreases exponentially with time as well. By measuring the rate of beta emissions in a sample of tissue, the time since the death of the organism can be estimated. Specifically, it

is known that t years after death, the number of beta particle emissions occurring in any given time interval from 1 g of carbon follows a Poisson distribution with rate events per minute. The number of years t since the death of an organism can therefore be expressed in terms of ?:
