ALS¶
ALS 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/als/site.yaml. Edit the descriptor, not this page.
| Property | Value |

The beamlines¶
What CORA models at ALS. 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 |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 8.3.2 | Model | Narrative | Full | hard X-ray micro-tomography (micro-CT) on a Superbend source, 6-43 keV, ~1 micron; reuses the 2-BM / FXI / FAXTOR tomography Families and Methods, novelty is the Site and its BCS / LabVIEW control plane |
The techniques adapted here¶
A Practice is ALS'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 8.3.2 runs it here. Each row links up to the Method it adapts.
| Practice | Method |
|---|---|
8.3.2_microtomography_practice |
tomography |
8.3.2_continuous_rotation_practice |
continuous_rotation_tomography |
Safety and governance¶
Access at ALS is the principal roster is pending; no autonomous agents run here today.
How this maps to CORA's model¶
ALS is a Federation Facility (FacilityKind = Site, facility_code = "als"); 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.
