Özet

The third phase of Turkish Accelerator Center (TAC) Project has been studied since 2006, after feasibility and conceptual design phases were completed [1-5]. This phase of the project has two main scientific goals which are writing Technical Design Report of TAC project and establishing an Infrared Free Electron Laser (IR FEL) facility as a first step until 2010. It is planned that TAC IR FEL facility will operate to obtain 2-185 microns wavelength FEL using 15-40 MeV energy range electron linac and two different undulators which are in 3 cm and 9 cm period lengths [6, 7]. Main research and application areas will be the material science, nonlinear optics, semiconductors, biotechnology, medicine and photochemical processes. In this study, the electron beam line design and the main parameters of electron beam, the characteristics of free electron laser were discussed with several options such as different bunch charge or different undulator material.
