The Turkish Accelerator Complex (TAC) was proposed to Turkish State Planning Organization (DPT) as a regional facility for accelerator based fundamental and applied research center in 1997 [1]. After completing Feasibility Report (FR, 2000) [2,3], and Conceptual Design Repot (CDR, 2005) [4], third phase of project is started in 2006 as an inter-universities project with support of DPT. TAC collaboration includes ten Turkish Universities: Ankara, Gazi, İstanbul, Boǧaziçi, Doǧuş, Uludaǧ, Dumlupinar, Niǧde, Erciyes and S. Demirel and around hundred scientists and students. Third phase of project has two main scientific goals: to write Technical Design Report (TDR) of TAC and to establish an Infrared Free Electron Laser (IR FEL) facility as a first step. The TAC complex will include a 1 GeV electron linac and a 3.56 (4.5) GeV positron ring for linac on ring type electron-positron collider as a charm factory and a few GeV proton linac. Besides the particle factory, it is also planned to produce SASE FEL from electron linac and synchrotron radiation from positron ring. It is planned that the Technical Design Report (TDR) of TAC Project will be completed in 2013. Furthermore, as the first step, an Infrared Free Electron Laser (IR-FEL) facility in oscillator mode will be established in order to become familiar to accelerator technology. This facility is now called Turkish Accelerator and Radiation Laboratory at Ankara (TARLA) since located at Golbasi town 15 km South of Ankara, Turkey. In this study, the status of TAC project is presented and latest considerations are given.
