Mission of TAC Collaboration
TAC collaboration is an inter-university collaboration with 12 Turkish Universities
that is established in 2006 under the coordination of Ankara University
• To design, construct and use of high energy particle accelerators for
scientific research and technological development in basic and applied
sciences in Turkey and the region.
• To form a national accelerator community and a national industrial
production base in accelerator technologies.
• To collaborate with international accelerator community

TAC Proton Accelerator Facility (PAF)
http://tac.ankara.edu.tr/paf
 TAC Proton Accelerator is proposed as a multipurpose, multi GeV energy and
multi MW power machine
(Low enery PAF: 3-65 MeV & 65-250 MeV, High energy PAF: up to 2 GeV)
The project will progress in three stages:
Stage 1: an ion-source, Low Energy Beam Transport (LEBT) and a Radio-Frequency
Quadrupole (RFQ) (up to 3 MeV);
Stage 2: a 250 MeV linear accelerator, which could be built in two phases – phase 1
is a 3-65 MeV Drift Tube Linac (DTL) and phase 2 is a MEBT and 65-250 MeV SCspoke cavity and SC-elliptical cavity
Stage 3: a 1 MW proton facility up to 2 GeV – probably a SC-Elliptical cavity
21

TAC Proton Accelerator Facility
This proton accelerator facility could serve as a neutron spallation source, a radioactive
ion beam facility, a prototype facility to conduct research into accelerator-driven subcritical reactors, as well as a number of lower energy facilities for use in nuclear,
material, biological, and medical sciences.

TAC Particle Factory
http://tac.ankara.edu.tr/pf
Turkish Accelerator Center (TAC) Particle Factory is a super charm factory with the
asymmetric beam energy setup consisting of an electron beam with 1 GeV from a linac and
a positron beam with 3.56 GeV from a ring, proposed to be designed as a linac-ring type
collider at the center of mass energy of 3.77 GeV. A super charm factory with luminosity
L=10^35 cm^(-2) s^(-1) will give opportunity to investigate charm physics well further than
B factories, benefiting from a boost parameter (bg=0.68) for some processes.

Future Perspectives for TAC
Turkish Parlament (TBMM) approved a new law by Ministry of
Development in 2014 on research centers (Law no: 6550).
The main aim of this new law is to categorize existing and
proposed research centers as national or thematic and to give
more powerful management, financial and personnel support.
New law is also proposing a new performance control of the
centers by TUBİTAK.
Based on this law it is expected that TAC will be defined as a
National Research Center as officially and a new management
will be defined. We hope that, just after this arrangement, the
TAC studies will be continue as planned and more powerful.

Conclusions
 TAC is planned as a world-class R&D and technology center in basic and applied
sciences for Turkey and our region, also.
 TAC facilites will give opportunity to use electron, positron, proton and neutron beams
and light sources (synchrotron radiation, free electron lasers and bremsstrahlung
radiation) for advanced R&D and technology development studies in many
interdisciplinary field of science and technology.
 TARLA facility is under construction and it is planned that TARLA will be completed in
next years and will be used as a national and regional “user facility”.
 We presented completed design reports of proposed facilities to the MD in June 2015
and we have a preliminary road map for next 15 years.
 It is expected that, TAC will be officially defined as a National Research
Center by new law on research centers and new management, financial and
personnel regime will come into being for next steps.
33
IMAC-VII| IAT, Ankara University
Ömer Yavaş | Ankara University
Conclusions
 All legistlations based on new law are published and first paperworks are done by MD
in 2015. It is expected that the process will be completed by the end of 2015 or in
early 2016.
 After new statute for TAC, all requirements and plans for proposed facilities will be
presented to the Board of Ministers and road map will be revisited. Board of TAC and
ISAC give high priority to SR and LE PAF facilities in future plans.
 Membership to SESAME and Associate membership to CERN are motivating Turkish
Accelerator Community to realize TAC and we need more closer international
collaboration.
