Dr. İskender AKKURT, SDÜ Nuclear Phys. Outline Introduction Accelerator science TAC project Little history of TAC Main parameters IR-FEL Bremsstrahlung photon beam
Dr. İskender AKKURT, SDÜ Nuclear Phys. Why Accelerator To have energetic particle To bombard atomic nucleus. Isotop production And many more application Accelerator science
Dr. İskender AKKURT, SDÜ Nuclear Phys. To investigate nuclear size need to have high energetic particles (need to have accelerator) Accelerator science
Dr. İskender AKKURT, SDÜ Nuclear Phys. Accelerator science
Dr. İskender AKKURT, SDÜ Nuclear Phys. Why higher energy ? Quantum mechanics : de broglie wave length =h/p (Examining matter at smaller distance requires higher momentum particles) Many of the particles of interest to particle physics are heavy (high-energy collisions are needed to create these particles) Accelerator science
