... research in the Earth sciences using synchrotron ra- PRIME Lab facilities include the AMS system, based on diation at the Advanced Photon Source, Argonne Na- a tandem electrostatic accelerator, and those laborational Laboratory. GSECARS provides Earth scientists tories needed for physical preparation of samples and with access to the high-brilliance hard X-rays from this the chemical separation and purification of long-lived third-generation synchrotron light source.
