The BEAmline for Tomography at SESAME (BEATS) will operate an X-ray��tomography station providing service to scientists from archaeology, cultural heritage, medicine, biology, material science and engineering, geology and environmental sciences*. BEATS will have a length of 45 m with a 3-pole-wiggler source (3 T peak magnetic field at 11 mm gap). Filtered white and monochromatic beam (8 keV to 50 keV, dE/E: 2% to 3% using a double-multilayer-monochromator) modalities will be available. In this work we present the beamline optical design, verified with simulation tools included in OASYS**. The calculated flux through 1 mm�� at the sample position will be as high as 8.5��10��� Ph/s/mm�� in 0.1% of the source bandwidth, for a maximum usable beam size of 70��15 mm��. Beam transverse coherence will be limited to below 1 ��m by the horizontal size of the X-ray source (~2 mm FWHM). For phase contrast applications requiring enhanced coherence, front end slits can be closed to 0.5 mm horizontally, with a reduction of the available beam size and photon flux. The BEATS beamline will fulfill the needs of the tomography community of SESAME., Proceedings of the 11th Mechanical Engineering Design of Synchrotron Radiation Equipment and Instrumentation, MEDSI2020, Chicago, IL, USA

New front end beamline components at SESAME* are designed to handle the high heat load produced by the insertion devices. A mini gap wiggler will be installed for the Material science Beamline and the front end will receive 5.0 kW of total power and 7.74 kW/mrad2 of peak power density. The power produced by the insertion device was simulated using SynRad+, this software is using Monte Carlo simulation to simulate the synchrotron radiation from either an insertion device or any magnet source, the surface power density distribution generated by this software mapped directly to an FEA software to conduct a coupled thermo-mechanical analsys. The design, modeling, power source simulation and FEA analysis of the fixed mask, shutter and filter for the material science Beamline front end will be presented in this paper, Proceedings of the Mechanical Eng.~Design of Synchrotron Radiation Equipment and Instrumentation, MEDSI2018, Paris, France

SESAME light source uses a 2.5GeV storage ring, designed to produce synchrotron light in the hard X-ray region. The 133.2 m circumference ring composed of 16 Double Bend Achromat cells with 16 dispersive straight sections, offers a maximum capacity of 25 beamlines. The storage ring is filled with electrons using an 800MeV injector of 1 Hz repetition rate. This article reports on the main results and first experience of storage ring commissioning and operation., Proceedings of the 8th Int. Particle Accelerator Conf., IPAC2017, Copenhagen, Denmark

SESAME* is a third-generation synchrotron light source under construction near Amman (Jordan). The storage ring has 16 Dipole arc chambers, 8 short and 8 long straight chambers. The general layout and detailed design of the vacuum chambers, crotch absorbers, RF bellows, injection and RF sections will be presented in this contribution, also the testing of the chambers prototype, bake out process and final installation., Proceedings of the 9th Edition of the Mechanical Engineering Design of Synchrotron Radiation Equipment and Instrumentation Conference, MEDSI2016, Barcelona, Spain

Commissioning of the 800 MeV booster of SESAME light source started in December 2013. The 38.4 m circumference booster is a part of SESAME injector which includes also a 20 MeV classical microtron as a pre-injector that is in operation since 2012. The main results and experience obtained during the commissioning period are reported in this paper., Proceedings of the 7th Int. Particle Accelerator Conf., IPAC2016, Busan, Korea

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., Proceedings of the 1st International Particle Accelerator Conference, IPAC2010, Kyoto, Japan
