Detector¶
The 19-BM-FACT indirect-detection imaging system, and the downstream beam stops. Design-phase; the detector hardware is procured after the FDR.
19-BM records 2-D projections with an indirect-detection system: a scintillator converts the transmitted X-ray image to visible light, visible-light microscope optics relay it, and a camera captures the frames, which are reconstructed off-line into 3-D micron-resolution tomograms. The system sits in air, downstream of the sample in 19-BM-D.
The specific scintillator, microscope optics, and camera are chosen after the FDR (DET-1); the shapes below are the design intent.
The model in one picture¶
What holds what, downstream of the sample (containment, Asset.parent_id):
19-BM (Unit, Asset)
└── DetectorStage (Component, Family Table; positions the system in air)
└── Microscope (Component, Family Housing; anchors the Microscope Assembly, presents the Detector Role)
├── Scintillator (Device, Scintillator; X-ray to visible)
└── Camera (Device, Camera; records projections)
The microscope chassis is a Housing that anchors the cross-facility Microscope Assembly, the same blueprint 2-BM uses: a scintillator and visible-light optics presenting the Detector Role. The Microscope itself is an Assembly, not a Family, so the chassis binds the Housing Family (matching 2-BM and TomoWISE). No Fixture is registered yet (19-BM is design-phase, and no scenario binds Assets to slots), so this is the planned composition, not a materialized Fixture.

Downstream beam stops¶
At the downstream wall of 19-BM-D, the white beam is absorbed and the station is shielded to the standard required for a white-beam BM station.
| Device | Family | Design spec (FDR) |
|---|---|---|
PhotonStop |
BeamStop |
A359-M100, water-cooled copper; water in series with the upstream Be window, BLEPS-monitored |
BremsstrahlungStop |
BeamStop |
A359-K3, chevron stack of lead bricks, behind the photon stop |
DownstreamGuillotines |
Shielding |
two movable Pb guillotines (>= 12 mm each), the 1 x 1 m2 extra-lead area required by APS TB-44; one held open during operation |
Families¶
The active detector families are reused, none new: Table (the detector stage), Housing (the microscope chassis), Scintillator, and Camera, composed through the cross-facility Microscope Assembly. The beam stops reuse the catalog BeamStop Family (graduated under the passive beam-path tier); the guillotines bind the loose Shielding family, which renders as plain text (not yet in the catalog).
The detector hardware selections and the trigger path are the main detector-side open questions. See Inventory for the Asset tree.
