The Indiana University Cyclotron Facility (IUCF) is a multi-purpose accelerator laboratory operated by Indiana University. Research programs include nuclear physics, the physics of beams and studies of the effects of radiation on biological and semi-conductor materials. A new program is planned to construct a pulsed cold neutron source devoted to studies of nanostructures in the fields of materials science, polymers, microemulsions, and biology.
The Midwest Proton Radiation Institute (MPRI) is an independent radiation therapy center which is operated as a regional facility for the benefit of the people of the Midwest. The medical facility purchases proton beam from IUCF.
The laboratory infrastructure includes a proton linac which is the injector for a 240 q2/A MeV synchrotron . Two coupled cyclotrons which provide beams of 200 q2/A MeV are used in the radiation effects and Radiation therapy programs.
The facilities at IUCF are available to interested scientists from around the world. For more information consult the IUCF web pages.
