Turkish Accelerator and Radiation Laboratory (TARLA) Think Future, Think TARLA
TARLA conducts undergraduate and graduate-level educational activities aimed at training qualified human resources in the fields of accelerator physics and radiation technologies. In this context, students from physics, engineering, and related disciplines of various universities benefit from TARLA’s research infrastructure, gaining hands-on experience that complements their academic education.
Undergraduate students, particularly during the summer months, participate in internship programs where they have the opportunity to put their theoretical knowledge into practice in a laboratory setting. Through these programs, students receive both theoretical instruction and practical training on topics such as the fundamental principles of accelerator systems, RF technologies, vacuum systems, radiation safety, light sources, and experimental methods. This enables them to gain firsthand experience by observing and working with real systems.
At the graduate level, master’s and doctoral students who wish to conduct their thesis research at TARLA are supported in collaboration with relevant academic departments. These students are granted access to TARLA’s infrastructure to carry out their research, thereby contributing to the development of young researchers and the broader dissemination of accelerator-based technologies.
In addition, TARLA organizes seminars and workshops in the fields of accelerator physics, radiation technologies, and related scientific disciplines. These events aim to enhance the knowledge base of both TARLA staff and external stakeholders, share recent developments, and foster scientific interaction.
Expert academics and researchers are invited to deliver seminars that provide theoretical insights and practical examples, while workshops encourage participants to engage in in-depth discussions on specific topics in an interactive setting. These activities contribute to the professional development of early-career researchers and help strengthen university-industry collaboration while supporting the emergence of multidisciplinary research environments (see NEWS & ANNOUNCEMENTS).
