ALBA

ALBA is a Federation Facility (FacilityKind = Site): the home for the facility-level facts an experiment inherits but does not own. The beamlines it hosts link up to this page rather than restating it.

Generated from the site descriptor

This page is generated from deployments/alba/site.yaml. Edit the descriptor, not this page.

The beamlines

What CORA models at ALBA. Each row's badges and one-line summary are read from the beamline's own descriptor; follow the link for the full model.

Beamline Maturity Evidence Coverage What it is
FAXTOR Model Narrative Full BL31 fast X-ray micro-CT and radiography (continuous-rotation tomography up to 20 Hz) on a multipole wiggler; reuses the tomography Families and Methods, novelty is the Site and its Tango / Sardana control plane

The techniques adapted here

A Practice is ALBA's facility-tuned form of a cross-facility Method: the ISA-88 Site Recipe layer. The Method names a technique abstractly in the Catalog; the Practice is how FAXTOR runs it here. Each row links up to the Method it adapts.

Practice Method
FAXTOR_microtomography_practice tomography
FAXTOR_continuous_tomography_practice continuous_rotation_tomography

Planned: 1 further Practices.

Safety and governance

Access at ALBA is gated by the facility safety system (ALBA personnel safety system, pending); the principal roster is pending; no autonomous agents run here today.

How this maps to CORA's model

ALBA is a Federation Facility (FacilityKind = Site, facility_code = "alba"); the beamlines above are its root Assets (tier = Unit), and their sub-systems nest below by parent_id. See the CORA model for the aggregate shapes.
