Turkish Accelerator and Radiation Laboratory in Ankara (TARLA) facility is proposed as an IR FEL and Bremsstrahlung facility as the first facility of Turkish Accelerator Center (TAC). TARLA is essentially proposed to generate oscillator mode FEL in 3-250 microns wavelengths range, will consist of normal conducting injector system with 250 keV beam energy, two superconducting RF accelerating modules in order to accelerate the beam 15-40 MeV. The TARLA facility is expected to provide two modes, Continuous wave (CW) and pulsed mode. Longitudinal electron bunch length will be changed between 1 and 10 ps. The bunch charge will be limited by 77pC.The design of the Button-type Beam Position Monitor for TARLA IR FEL is studied to operate in 1.3 GHz. Mechanical antenna design and simulations are completed considering electron beam parameters of TARLA. Ansoft HFSS and CST Particle Studio is used to compare with results of simulations.

Turkish Accelerator and Radiation Laboratory in Ankara (TARLA) facility is a superconducting linac-based infrared free-electron laser light source in the frame of Turkish Accelerator Center (TAC). Construction of the facility premises was completed in 2009, with a continued progress of hardware and infrastructure installation until today. In this respect, a button type beam position monitor (BPM) is designed, produced and tested for use of TARLA facility. Antenna simulations and mechanical design studies based on TARLA electron beam parameters are carried out by the software computer simulation technology. In this paper, its design and production highlights are discussed in detail, and the original results are summarized.
