Accelerators Around the World

NEC has provided over 230 accelerator systems, as well as other systems, components, and services, in over 50 countries around the world. Customers use our systems to conduct business and research on both privately and publicly funded projects. Below is a list of some of our systems and information about the laboratories that use them. If up-to-date link or contact information is not displayed for any laboratory listed below, please contact us or our representatives for more information.

 

Standard NEC Pelletron accelerator systems are listed with their model number, such as 20UR or 5SDH. Other systems include high voltage decks without a Pelletron accelerator component, as well as Pelletron chain-based charging systems that have been added as retrofits to older belt-driven Van de Graaff accelerators. Systems specifically designed for accelerator mass spectrometry are noted in parentheses, including our standard line of low energy AMS systems such as SSAMS, CAMS, and XCAMS. Additional system configurations noted in parentheses, such as 5S-MR10 and MAS1700, are designed specifically for ion beam analysis. An asterisk (*) next to the year of installation specifies that the system has since been moved from its original location to its current facility.
