Indiana University Cyclotron Facility
The Indiana University Cyclotron Facility (IUCF).[1] was a cyclotron located on the Indiana University campus in Bloomington, Indiana, United States. It accelerated protons to an energy of 200 MeV, as well as light ions: deuterium, 3He, 4He, 6Li and 7Li.[2] The beam could be polarized and was delivered to experimental halls. The facility was operated between 1976 and 2010.
In 1985 the IUCF was upgraded to operate a cooled beam (Cooler storage ring) able to accelerate protons to 500 MeV.[3]
In 2004, the IUCF was repurposed for medical use and became the Indiana University Health Proton Therapy Center[4]
