Abstract: The Turkish Accelerator and Radiation Laboratory at Ankara (TARLA) is a part of the Turkish Accelerator Center project, which was designed to produce an infrared free electron laser in the wavelength band of 2-250 mu m. The beamline of TARLA consists of 4 major sections: injector, beam transport line with linacs, optical cavities, and dump. All system components must be kept under ultrahigh vacuum standards to prevent beam scattering with residual gas. In the present study, the vacuum requirements of the beamline are defined and simulation vacuum and gas flow in the accelerator are presented.
