| ABSTRACT: |
The SynchrotronLight for Experimental Science and Application in the Middle East (SESAME) was established in 2001 under the auspices of UNESCO as an international scientific project to enhance science and its technological applications, and to promote peace in the Middle East region. It will have as it centerpiece a synchrotron light source originating from BESSY I, given as a gift by Germany. The upgraded machine, a 3rd generation 2.5 GeV machine, light source with an emittance of 25 nm.rad and 13 places for insertion devices, will provide light from the far infra-red to X-rays up to 20 keV energy and beyond. As of January 2004, the founding members of SESAME are: Bahrain, Egypt, Iran, Israel, Jordan, Pakistan, Palestinian Authority, Turkey and United Arab Emirates. The facility is located in Allan, Jordan, about 30 km North-West of Amman. Jordan is providing the site and funds for the construction of a new building on which the construction began in July 2003. |
