  The institute for nuclear physics at the Forschungszentrum Jülich is dedicated to fundamental research in the field of hadron, particle, and nuclear physics. Main activities are the development of the HESR synchrotron, part of the GSI FAIR project, the 3.7 GeV/c Cooler Synchrotron COSY-Jülich with the injector cyclotron JULIC, as well as the design, preparation, and operation of experimental facilities at this large scale facility, and theoretical investigations accompanying the scientific research program. The operation and development of the accelerator facility COSY is based upon the availability and performance of the isochronous cyclotron JULIC as the pre-accelerator. The cyclotron is commissioned in 1968 and exceeded 240 000 hours of operation. In parallel to the operation of COSY the cyclotron beam is also used for irradiation and nuclide production. A brief overview of activities, performance, new and improved installations will be presented.  
 
FRM1CIO01 Review on Cyclotrons for Cancer Therapy proton, cyclotron, synchrotron, ion 398

  The science and technology of proton and carbon therapy was initially developed in national and university laboratories. The first hospital based proton therapy facility was built at Loma Linda University with the help from Fermilab. After this initial phase, and starting with the tender for the proton therapy system at MGH, many proton and carbon beam facilities have been ordered from industry and built. Industrially made proton and carbon therapy facilities represent today the vast majority of the installed base.
