Indiana University Cyclotron Facility Cyclotron facility achieves 25% increase in suction pressure by installing Suction Diffuser Flex from Metraflex The Indiana University Cyclotron Facility (IUCF) located in Bloomington Indiana is a state of the art multidisciplinary facility performing research, development and application of accelerator physics, nuclear physics, nuclear science, and material science. Research activities from NASA and around the world are carried out at the IUCF. Generating subatomic particle beams traveling at almost the speed of light, the accelerator at the IUCF is a life-saving marvel. The proton beam from the accelerator is used for medical treatments, especially the irradiation of cancerous tumors. In addition, two beam lines were built with support from NASA and
