The SESAME pre-injector is a classical 22 MeV Microtron (MM22) that emits and accelerates the electrons up to 20MeV as required. The electrons are extracted from the LaB6 crystal using a 4µs long and 63kV magnitude voltage pulse and injected into the 3GHz RF cavity which accelerates them at a rate ~ 0.535 MeV each turn using a 4µs long and 45kV magnitude RF pulse. After ~ 39 turns, the 20MeV electrons are extracted from the Microtron using a ‘deflection tube’ and transferred to the Booster through the transfer line TL1.
The main parameters and parts of the Microtron are listed and shown respectively by the Table and Figure below.
