A new source of polarized light ions, including protons and deuterons, will be produced for use with the Indiana University Cyclotron Facility (IUCF). IUCF is a national user facility for nuclear physics, with particular emphasis on studies of the meson exchange character of the nucleon- nucleon force. IUCF serves a user community numbering in the hundreds. The new source will increase the intensity of polarized beams available using the IUCF Cooler ring accelerator (a 500 MeV synchrotron) twenty-fold, opening up new and more stringent tests of our understanding of the nucleon-nucleon potential. The IUCF research program also includes tests of theories of the strong interaction relating to synthesis of the structure and dynamics of complex nuclei from the fundamental nucleon-nucleon potential. These topics are of high priority within U.S. nuclear science, as established by the joint NSF/DOE Nuclear Science Advisory Committee in its 1996 Long Range Plan. Education of students and postdocs is a strong component of the IUCF experimental program.

印第安纳大学回旋加速器设施(IUCF)将生产一种新的偏振光离子源，包括质子和氚。IUCF是国家核物理用户设施，特别重视研究核子-核子力的介子交换特性。IUCF为数以百计的用户社区提供服务。新的源将把使用IUCF冷却器环加速器(500 MeV同步加速器)可用的偏振光束的强度提高20倍，为我们对核子-核子势的理解打开新的和更严格的测试。IUCF研究方案还包括测试与从基本核子-核子势合成复杂核的结构和动力学有关的强相互作用理论。美国国家科学基金会和能源部联合核科学咨询委员会在其1996年的长期计划中确立了这些主题在美国核科学中的高度优先地位。对学生和博士后的教育是国际自然保护联盟实验方案的重要组成部分。
