Australian Synchrotron

Australian Synchrotron 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.

The beamlines

What CORA models at Australian Synchrotron. 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
MX3 Model Controls config Full macromolecular crystallography (rotation MX) on an MD3 microdiffractometer + DECTRIS Eiger with an ISARA robot; reuses the i03 Goniometer and MX Methods, novelty is the Site and its heterogeneous control plane

The techniques adapted here

Planned: 3 facility Practices, each adapting a cross-facility Method; none earned into the model yet.

What this Site provides

Beyond the shared beam, cooling, and vacuum every Site provides, CORA's model tracks these facility resources:

  • Cryojet liquid nitrogen (LiquidNitrogen) (pending)

Safety and governance

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

How this maps to CORA's model

Australian Synchrotron is a Federation Facility (FacilityKind = Site, facility_code = "as"); 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.
