On Monday November 28, 2011 at 1:13 AM, the Microtron beam has been successfully extracted from its final orbit (orbit 42) to be the full energy beam with 22.5MeV, according to the specifications of the SESAME classical Microtron. This eagerly waited beam was obtained in the second session of Microtron full energy commissioning. By starting with the low energy beam (5.4MeV), which was obtained in the previous session, the Microtron commissioning team could raise up the energy of the obtained beam in steps by extracting it from higher orbits after optimizing the beam intensity in each previous orbit. The Microtron electron beam which has minimum extraction energy of 5.4MeV, increases by 0.535MeV in each orbit to end up with 22.5MeV, the operational Microtron energy.
