The Indiana University Cyclotron Facility (IUCF) is a multi-purpose laboratory that conducts basic research in nuclear physics, nuclear chemistry, accelerator physics, condensed matter and the life sciences. Researchers associated with IUCF also use the accelerators and particle beams to investigate radiation effects and imaging techniques such as neutron radiography. Research and development projects include medical device development, detector and diagnostic design, and the production of oversized equipment for large scale physics experiments. Scientists and students from around the world take part in educational research projects at IUCF. This page is the gateway to detailed information about the many facets of IUCF.
