(U) This cable is sensitive but unclassified.  Please treat 
accordingly. 
 
1.  (U) Summary:  On June 9 and 10, 2008, Sweden hosted the Twelfth 
Meeting of the Synchrotron-light for Experimental Science and 
Applications in the Middle East (SESAME) project.  The main expected 
benefits are closer cooperation in the Middle East, advances in 
science geared toward regional issues and the economic and 
educational advantages of having a synchrotron research center in 
the area.  Though the project's momentum is building, its success 
depends on whether new member states, individual investors or the 
current member states get serious about raising the substantial 
funds necessary to keep the project rolling.  End Summary. 
 
SESAME Background 
----------------- 
 
2.  (U) Synchrotron radiation, emitted from particle accelerators, 
is used in a variety of scientific experiments.  Essentially, 
scientists use synchrotron radiation, in conjunction with 
high-powered optics, to better understand the nature and structure 
of materials.  Physical science, biological and medical sciences, 
environmental sciences, industrial applications and archaeology are 
some of the main intended foci of SESAME. 
 
3.  (U) SESAME came into existence as an intergovernmental 
organization on April 15, 2004 under the auspices of UNESCO, but was 
initially developed in 1998.  Current members are Bahrain, Cyprus, 
Egypt, Iran, Israel, Jordan, Pakistan, the Palestinian Authority and 
Turkey.  Observer countries are France, Germany, Greece, Italy, 
Kuwait, Portugal, Russian Federation, Sweden, U.K. and the United 
States.  This meeting commemorated the original organizational talks 
that took place in Sweden 10 years ago. 
 
4.  (U) The mission of SESAME is to provide the Middle East with a 
world-class laboratory for basic research with numerous 
applications.  There are now more than 50 operating synchrotron 
sources around the world, but this will be the first in the Middle 
East and the Mediterranean. 
 
5.  (U) SESAME is installing a used injection system, donated by 
Germany (BESSY I 800 MeV injection system), in a new facility in 
Allaan, Jordan.  The EU provided USD 1.25 million to facilitate the 
purchase of equipment and installation, and Jordan's royal family 
have given USD 3 million to the project.  Other labs have donated 
five different beamlines, valued in excess of 10 million , which 
project off the storage ring and utilize the synchrotron light for 
the scientists' experiments.  Tests on the MICROTRON subsystems, 
which involve the injection of electrons into the storage ring, have 
indicated good functionality of each subsystem.  The modulator has 
reached its maximum value of 9 kV.  This means the MICROTRON will be 
sufficient for the next five years, at which time it will likely be 
replaced by a linear accelerator ("linac"). 
 
Stockholm Meeting 
----------------- 
 
6.  (U) The main message that came out of the Stockholm meeting was 
 
STOCKHOLM 00000436  002 OF 003 
 
 
that momentum is building with the receipt of the donations and 
positive test results, but acquiring stable financial support is 
crucial to keep pace with the project.  The SESAME project was 
estimated to be three-fourths of the way complete. 
 
7.  (SBU) The main challenges ahead are gaining funding, adapting 
machinery and training staff.  Though the EU pledged USD 12 million 
to the project, bureaucratic problems have prevented that funding 
from being released. 
 
8.  (SBU) Regarding hardware, SESAME currently needs a storage ring 
and eventually more beamlines.  The storage ring, estimated to cost 
USD 16-20 million, and the shielding that must go around it, have 
yet to be built.  The Palestinian Authority is providing the cooling 
system. 
 
9.  (SBU) Regarding human resources, SESAME currently has two 
scientific staff and 15 technical staff, and volunteer technicians 
from BESSY in Germany and SOLIEL in France have offered their help. 
There should be one scientist for each beamline, so increasing staff 
is a necessity with the influx of equipment.  By the time of 
operation there should be 30 to 40 scientific and technical staff. 
 
10.  (SBU) In regards to SESAME's 2009 operating budget, the finance 
committee put forth several scenarios with a recommendation for a 
35% increase in dues from member countries, which range from USD 
50,000-137,000 per annum.  USD 1.667 million was mentioned as the 
proposed budget for 2009, but the budget will be finalized during 
the November meeting. 
 
11.  (SBU) Upcoming events include a visit to the Jordan site by 27 
Nobel Laureates the week of June 16, and a July visit by the German 
Minister of Science.  On November 3 there will be a "soft 
inauguration" to which heads of state, ministers of science and 
directors of finance will be invited. 
 
Challenges in Garnering Participation 
------------------------------------- 
 
12.  (SBU) The SESAME delegates from Bahrain and Iran were not 
present at the meeting.  Iran nominated delegates one-and a half 
weeks ago, not soon enough to secure visas.  Though the reason 
behind Bahrain's absence was unclear, it was speculated that shifts 
within the government which moved the SESAME project from under the 
control of the Minister of Education to that of Bahrain University 
made it difficult to nominate delegates. 
 
13.  (SBU) Iraq sent the Deputy Minister of Science who affirmed the 
country's interest in integrating itself in SESAME, calling it 
fundamentally important to the country.  There is talk of Japan and 
the United Arab Emirates joining as observer countries, and two 
delegates from Japan were present at the meeting to affirm their 
interest in participating.  Professor Herwig Schopper, the President 
of SESAME Council, expressed hope that Japan would be a full 
observer member by the next meeting. The admittance of Morocco, 
which was a member of the interim council, as an observer country is 
also pending. 
 
 
STOCKHOLM 00000436  003 OF 003 
 
 
14.  (SBU) Professor Salman M. Salman, a delegate from the 
Palestinian Authority, asserted in a private conversation that there 
has been a growing interest in knowing the United States' intentions 
as to SESAME.  He explained that it is unclear whether the U.S. 
plans to continue to merely watch and listen and suggested that 
perhaps failure to participate stems from the idea that this is an 
EU project.  Some delegates thought the U.S. should give matching 
funds. The Director of International Affairs of the American 
Physical Society emphasized the training and fellowships that have 
already been provided by the U.S. 
 
15.  (U) The next SESAME Council meeting has been scheduled to take 
place onsite in Allaan, Jordan, November 3-4, 2008. 
 
16.  (SBU) Comment: SESAME has completed significant work toward its 
mission, but raising the funding needed for the project has been 
difficult.  A professor from the Stanford Linear Accelerator Center 
commented that if funds for the 2.5 GeV storage ring do not come 
through in the next two years, the organization will not begin 
operations in 2011 as intended.  Now that the building to house the 
project has been completed and the injector has been tested, SESAME 
must hire staff to build the storage ring and shielding and complete 
adaptations to make the different donated parts function as a whole. 
 Dr. Adel M. Qabazard, the delegate from Kuwait, opined that after 
the amount of support shown by the scientific and international 
community, and all the work and human resources that have gone into 
the project thus far, member states must contribute more financially 
or risk being humiliated with the project's failure.  The success of 
the project depends on raising the substantial funds necessary to 
keep up the project's momentum.  End Comment.
