2. Introduction
 SESAME is a joint 3rd generation light source being constructed in Jordan
(in Allan, 30km west of Amman) for the Middle East and expected to serve the
user community starting from the 1st half of 2017.
 SESAME machine consists mainly of:
 800 MeV injector (22.5 MeV classical Microtron MeV Booster)
(BESSY I injector).
 completely new hard X-ray storage ring with energy 2.5 GeV.
 maximum number of 25 beamlines.

5. Injector Commissioning is Done: Booster
 Ibeam = 4 mA (~ 5% injection efficiency) was
achieved for the best shots.
The varying injection efficiency is due to
instability in the electrostatic injection septum.
 Ibeam = 7-8 mA (8-9% injection efficiency) was
recently achieved by compensating beam
loading effect using RF Fast Feedback Loop.
