Research performed by several faculty members utilizes one or more large scale facilities on campus and at sites around world. This often includes the participation of post-docs, graduate students and even undergraduate students may be involved.

• Van de Graaff Accelerator at the Physics Department, WMU
  
• Advanced Light Source (ALS) at the Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory, CA
• Advanced Photon Source (APS) at Argonne National Laboratory, IL
• Hubble space telescope
• National Superconducting Cyclotron Laboratory (NSCL) at Michigan State University
• Argonne Tandem Linear Accelerator System (ATLAS) at Argonne National Laboratory, IL
• Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider (RHIC) at Brookhaven National Laboratory, NY
• Grand Accelerateur National d'Ions Lourds (GANIL), France
• The RIKEN Rare Isotope Beam Factory (RIBF), Japan
• Gesellschaft für Schwerionenforschung (GSI), Darmstadt, Germany
• Electron Beam Ion Trap (EBIT) Facility at the Institute of Modern Physics, Fudan University, Shanghai, China

The locations of some of these facilities can be seen from a customized google map below. A sense of the variation in physical scale of the facilities can be seen when zoomed in to see each location with the satellite view selected - easiest to see when viewing the larger map.

• Use the +/- controls (top left corner of the map) to change the scale of the map.
  
• The map can also be panned in all directions by click(holding down)+dragging with the mouse.
• On the larger map the links on the left can be used to jump to the location of each facility.
