Commissioning ceremony of the TARLA electron accelerator (phase 1)at Ankara University Gölbaşı Campus, Minister of Industry and Technology Mehmet Fatih KacırIt was held with the participation of. It was stated that this electron accelerator will pave the way for research in areas such as health, aviation, environment, space travel, science and engineering.

Minister Kacır said at the event: Phase-1 has a beamline of 20 meV (em-ivi).It was stated that Turkey will be one of four countries with this technology, with the superconducting electron accelerator being produced with domestic equipment and competence.

Allocation of 2.3 billion lira for research infrastructure

Developing the ability to produce and implement knowledge, product with high added value Drawing attention to research and development studies that will support research and services and research infrastructures for innovation activities, Kacır stated that research infrastructures are the driving force for science-based development in many areas. Kacir, “The performance of these national research infrastructures, which have been established and continue to be supported with public funds, in the areas of information, technology and human resource development in the technology titles our country needs,Our Commission for Research Infrastructures We monitor closely in coordination.” he said.

Referring to the infrastructure works carried out, Kacır recalled the supported projects. “We will accelerate our efforts to commercialize the information produced in the coming period. We will continue to make public resources available for the research conducted within our research infrastructures. since 2017 With the approval of our committee, we transferred a total of 2 billion 284 million liras. An allocation of 926 million liras was made for 2024. One of these research infrastructures is TARLA, which we opened today. “TARLA, to which our state has allocated 35 million euros so far, has brought the ability of electron acceleration to our country by using superconductor acceleration technology.” said.

FIELDIt could lead to important breakthroughs in the field of, for example, the production of electrons at the speed of light.
