Facility Info

Our facility is at the University of Notre Dame. We are part of the Institue for Structure and Nuclear Astrophysics (ISNAP) which you can find here Institute for Structure and Nuclear Astrophysics // University of Notre Dame.

We use a 3 MV Tandem Pelletron Particle Accelerator shown below along with a picture of a proton beam passing through air.

Our group focuses mainly on environmental PFAS measurements through a technique known as PIGE which you can read more about via a button below. We can also measure a wide range of elements with PIGE and another similar technique known as PIXE. Below are links to the measurement techniques along with one of our past PFAS measurement projects.
