Accelerator Technologies in the World
Accelerator technologies which have started to develope in 1930s is
the one of the strategic
technology of science and
technology in the 21st
century they occupy big
places almost their whole
areas and developing of
these areas. At the present
there are approximately
400 subtitles of user areas
such as fundamental
particle physics, nuclear
physics, solid state physics,
nanotechnology,
medicine,chemistry,
biology, jeology, material,
electronic, energy and
defence industry areas of particle accelerators. In these conditions
particle accelerators keeps a very significant place among science
and technology priorties in the entirely developed and still
developing countries. There are nearby 15.000 accelerators.
Situation in Turkey
In our country there are medical linacs and small-scale cyclotrons
using purpose of diagnostic and treatment. However there is not any
center to use research and development (R&D). It has planned to
transmit first institution purpose of research and development based
on accelerator technology besides have been made Turkish
Accelerator Center Technical Design associated with
Ankara
University and SPO Project. Feasibility and Content Design studies
had been completed between 1997 and 2005. Third stage of this
Project will have been completed by 2011. At these laboratories will
be built as experimental stations. To reseach will be possible in
material science, biotechnology, nanotechnology, medicine,
chemistry, biology, agriculture, communication areas. Also, in project
content establishment of Accelerator Technology Institute is planned
to reduce insufficency at human force about accelerator technology
and its applications.
International Collaborations
Ankara University which is Coordinator University of Project has
signed collaboration agreements with predecors of accelerator
technologies of world and Europe about accelerator technologies
and applications until last period of 2011 is stated that below in order
to collective studies.

Turkish Accelerator Center (TAC) Project
First step was taken as it was presented to SPO purpose of written
feasibility in order to Turkish Accelerator Center Project especially
necessity of R&D studies with together to bring the accelerator
technology to our country.
Purpose of the TAC Project is to provide a meeting of our country with
accelerator Technologies and so that coordinate R&D activities based
on this technology. Especially, investigation to the fundamental particle
beams is the unique way to understand micro and nano world directly
or indirectly. Turkish Accelerator Center that can be studied
fundemental and applied science based on accelerator research will
be started in 2012 in Ankara, Turkey and complete of TAC Project will
be built in 2020s.
First
stage
was
completed
with
supporting by SPO
(DPT-97K-120420)
“Particle Accelerators:
What should have
been in Turkey” known
as feasibility of Project
in 2000.
Second
stage which is known
content
design
of
Project is completed
with two projects one
of the these project
codes DPT2002K-120250 “General Design of Turkish Accelerator
Complex” and other one whose project code is DPT2003K-120190
“General Design for Produce and Use of Synchrotron Radiation and
Free Electron Laser”. Approximately 20 researchers were taken place
in these two projects from Ankara and Gazi Universities. First
establishment will be IR FEL laboratory between 2008-2011. On the
other hand technical design workings will be possible to R&D studies
on fundamental and applied high energy electron, positron beams and
proton at the Turkish Accelerator Center. Particle accelerators (energy
of GeV) based on (SR & FEL) radiation sources will be taken place in
this. When TAC is completed, it will be a research and application
center in the world.
Turkish Accelerator Center
IR FEL Facility Research Potential
Infrared Free Electron Laser (IR FEL)
Accelerated electron beam loses a part of its energy as an
electromagnetic radiation while it is passing through a sinussel
magnetic field called as an undulator in the lineer accelerator. This
radiation named as “Free Electron Laser (FEL)”. It is taken out from
the hole of one of the
mirrors is confined
between two mirrors
when it reaches certain
saturation. Such as a
FEL
mechanism
regarded as “Oscillator
mode Free Electron
Laser”. This radiation is
same-phase,
single
color and adjustable
wavelength form.
8 experimental stations one of these is to use in order to photon
diagnostics will be taken part in the TAC IR FEL. These experiment
stations will be donated with private spectroscopic and microscopic
processes.
IR FEL facility as Test Laboratory of Turkish Accelerator Center
have an electron beam (10 - 40 MeV energy range), two undulators
and two optical mirror systems. It is planned to produce FEL
between wavelength range 2-250 micron in the IR FEL
laboratory . This range includes NIR, MIR and FIR regions.
These experiment stations will be configured to possible studies about
research and progress areas at this laboratory are taken account of
user potentials in our country and region .

In this laboratory, it is pointed out that
application areas for research and progress to pass through our lives.
TAC IR FEL will be happen first and point of swing for research in our
country and region when it is completed.
