List of accelerator mass spectrometry facilities

The following list of accelerator mass spectrometry facilities sets out the research centres which employ accelerator mass spectrometry (AMS).

Accelerator mass spectrometry is an analytical technique that uses a full-sized particle accelerator as a big mass spectrometer.
