Machine Description and status

Overview

The Accelerator Operation Group is one of the groups in the technical division at SESAME, composed of three operators till now. The operation group works in a close collaboration with the other groups in the technical division to support and organize the accelerator’s operation, and to enhance the performance of them.

We are responsible for the round-the-clock operation of the synchrotron light source machine, working, together with the other technical groups, on delivering a stable, high quality beam to the users, and documenting the specific operation results. We are working constantly on improving beam availability, minimizing the machine downtime during the user time, coordinating & scheduling the shutdown and machine-dedicated time activities, and operation in general.
