Turkish Accelerator and Radiation Laboratory (TARLA) Think Future, Think TARLA
The Detector R&D Laboratory conducts research, development and testing of innovative detector technologies for use in fields such as high-energy particle physics, nuclear physics, space research, and medical imaging. In our laboratory, next-generation gaseous detectors and optical detectors are actively being developed. The characterization of all produced detectors is carried out both in our laboratory and at test beam facilities at CERN and Fermilab.
Research Infrastructure:
Our laboratory has dark boxes designed in geometries suitable for detectors in order to perform tests of optical detectors. The pulsed LED system is specially designed for LEDs with various spectroscopic properties.
The laboratory is equipped with DC power supplies of +40 V, -3 kV, +/- 8 kV, and -50 kV, as well as multiple oscilloscopes.
Data acquisition is performed with CAEN v1743 and v1751 digitizers. The data acquisition system (DAQ) is specially designed for these digitizers.
For testing gaseous detectors, a gas mixing and flow controlling system is available.
The laboratory includes a magnetron sputtering system that can operate up to four guns. The vacuum chamber can also be used for detector testing.
For the development of detector prototypes, 3D printers and printed circuit board production systems are available.
