METU-Defocusing Beam Line (METU-DBL) Project has been started in August 2015 and aims to construct a beam line at Turkish Atomic Energy Authority (TAEA) Sarayköy Nuclear Education and Research Center (SANAEM) Proton Accelerator Facility (PAF) to perform Single Event Effect (SEE) tests for the first time in Turkey. The METU-DBL is an 8m-long beam line which has quadrupole magnets to enlarge the beam size and collimators to reduce the flux. When complete, the METU-DBL will provide a beam that is suitable according to the ESA ESCC No. 25100 Single Event Effects Test Method and Guidelines standard. The final METU-DBL beam size at the target area will be 15.40 cm x 21.55 cm and the flux setting will be selectable between 105 p/cm2/s and 1010 p/cm2/s. The METU-DBL will serve space, particle, nuclear and medical physics communities starting from 2018 by performing irradiation tests. A preliminary test setup is being constructed towards first tests in May 2017. The beam size will be 6 cm x 8 cm and the flux will be 3.4x109 p/cm2/s for preliminary test setup. The METU-DBL project construction status for the preliminary test setup is presented in this proceedings.
