Turkish Accelerator and Radiation Laboratory (TARLA) Think Future, Think TARLA
The planned research activities at TARLA focus on gamma spectroscopy, advanced detector technologies, materials science and characterization, molecular and biological imaging techniques, and atmospheric and environmental chemistry. These priority research areas hold significant potential for producing impactful scientific outcomes in both fundamental and applied sciences.
In this context, four dedicated laboratories are planned to support interdisciplinary research by utilizing the coherent and tunable light sources provided by the Free Electron Laser (FEL), particularly in the mid- and far-infrared (Mid-IR and Far-IR) spectral regions. These laboratories include facilities for materials science and characterization, molecular and biological imaging, and atmospheric and environmental chemistry.
In addition, TARLA will enable research on gamma spectroscopy and detector technologies through the Bremsstrahlung radiation generated by the accelerator.
The research conducted in these laboratories will cover a broad range of topics, including the development of novel techniques for material and surface analysis, structural and functional analysis of biomolecules, detection of trace environmental components, and the elucidation of atmospheric reaction mechanisms.
By providing a multidisciplinary research platform equipped with advanced technology, TARLA aims to create strong scientific impact and serve as a hub for both national and international researchers.
