Turkish Accelerator and Radiation Laboratory (TARLA) Think Future, Think TARLA
The Turkish Accelerator and Radiation Laboratory (TARLA) is a multi-purpose and interdisciplinary national research infrastructure established to advance scientific and technical expertise in the field of accelerator science, and to provide researchers and industry with opportunities based on cutting-edge technologies.
Within TARLA, the linear electron accelerator, when operating at full capacity, will include two beamlines and five experimental stations. This system has the capacity to produce an electron beam with a kinetic energy of 40 Mega Electron Volts (MeV). The generated electron beam will be used in experiments such as Free Electron Laser (FEL) radiation, Bremsstrahlung (gamma radiation), and in the future, secondary particle production. In addition, FEL radiation can also be used in advanced experiments in combination with other tabletop laser systems. TARLA’s light generation capability covers a broad spectral range from mid-infrared (Mid-IR) to far-infrared (Far-IR) (5–350 µm), offering new research opportunities in light–matter interaction.
