SESAME, Amman
SESAME machine consists of a 22.5 MeV microtron, 800 MeV booster and a 2.5 GeV storage ring. The electron beam diagnostics will play a major rule during the commisioning and normal operation with different modes of single bunch and multi bunch operations. Furthermore the beam parameteres during injection, acceleration and storing the beam will be measured, monitored and integrated into other subsystems. The major diagnostics components and the general design for booster and storage ring are reported in this paper.

The construction of SESAME, a 2.5 GeV, and 3rd generation synchrotron-light source is under progress. The first electron beam from the Microtron at low energy (less than 10 MeV) could be obtained on July, 14th, 2009 and reproduced several times. The tests of the injection and extraction system as well as the hydraulically and electrical tests of the main magnets of the Booster are complete and the vacuum chambers tests are underway. The Booster RF cavity and its plunger have been conditioned successfully by 1.7 kW CW RF power. The installation of the Booster is expected to start after the completion of the shielding. The design of the completely new storage ring is finalised and the Phase 1 beamlines is updated.
