Turkish Accelerator and Radiation Laboratory in Ankara (TARLA) is proposed as first accelerator based infrastructure in Turkey as a first step Turkish Accelerator Center (TAC). The facility under construction at Institute of Accelerator Technologies of Ankara University since 2012. Based superconducting technology, TARLA accelerator will offer a multi-experiment facility providing various accelerator-based radiation sources for the users coming from different fields like physics, chemistry, biology, material sciences, medicine and nanotechnology. Two of the planed free-electron laser (FEL) beamlines of TARLA will provide Continuous Wave (CW) tunable radiation of high brightness in the mid- and far-infrared regime. In addition a Bremmstrahlung radiation station is proposed within current scope of TARLA. In this paper current status of facility is presented., Proceedings of the 8th Int. Particle Accelerator Conf., IPAC2017, Copenhagen, Denmark

Three light source project is ongoing in Turkey within the frame of Turkish Accelerator Center (TAC) Project which has been supported by Ministry of Development since 2006. As a first facility of TAC, 3-250 μ mm IR-FEL facility (TARLA) based on superconducting accelerator with an energy of maximum 40 MeV is under construction at Institute of Accelerator Technologies of Ankara University. In addition to TARLA, Conceptual/Technical Design Report of a third generation synchrotron radiation facility based on 3 GeV, and a fourth generation FEL facility based 1-6 GeV is being prepared for the next steps of TAC. Therewithal a proton accelerator facility with up 2 GeV and an electron-positron collider as a super charm factory are proposed within the frame of TAC project. In this presentation, current status of TARLA project and main goals, road map of Turkish Light Sources will be explained., Proceedings of the 7th Int.
