ScandiNova receives new order from SESAME Light Source - A PFN replacement
Uppsala, Sweden, March 24, 2022. ScandiNova Systems AB, a leading provider of new generation high-voltage pulsed power systems, has received an order of a Magnetron modulator and an E-gun modulator for SESAME Light Source in Jordan, funded by PSI in Switzerland and INFN in Italy. The order is a replacement of the existing PFN modulator powering the microtron in the light source. Delivery is expected to take place in October 2022.

The order for SESAME Light Source covers the design, manufacture, delivery, and installation of a ScandiNova M100-i, solid-state magnetron modulator, and a customized ScandiNova E-gun modulator.
The ScandiNova solid-state modulators, that replace existing PFN technology, will be powering the microtron, which generates and pre accelerates the electrons in the synchrotron light source. The light source is used for research in subjects ranging from medicine and biology, through basic properties of materials science, physics, and chemistry to health care, the environment, and archaeology.

About SESAME
SESAME (Synchrotron-light for Experimental Science and Applications in the Middle East) is a “third-generation” synchrotron light source that was officially opened in Allan (Jordan) on 16 May 2017. It is the first synchrotron light source in the Middle East and neighbouring countries, and also the region’s first major international centre of excellence.
It is a cooperative venture by scientists and governments of the region set up on the model of CERN (European Organization for Nuclear Research) although it has very different scientific aims. It was developed under the auspices of UNESCO (United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization) following the formal approval given for this by the Organization’s Executive Board (164th session, May 2002).
It is an autonomous intergovernmental organization at the service of its Members which have full control over its development, exploitation, and financial matters.
The heart of SESAME is a 2.5 GeV synchrotron light source (133m in circumference), providing radiation from Infrared light to X-rays of unparalleled quality, a unique tool to expand the boundaries of scientific investigations into new materials and living matter.
