Source

The incident beam, produced, conditioned, and defined before the sample. A walk along the source-stage devices; the sample and detection stages are documented as their own composed-fixture pages, the controllers that drive these devices are on the Controls page, and the supplies they draw on are in Operations. Each device pairs its human name with the EPICS handle, its key specs, and whether it is field replaceable. new marks a device not yet modeled in CORA; confirm marks a value taken from the docs that staff have not yet verified.

Enclosures

Enclosure Role Facility Permit signal
6-BM-A optics-hutch nsls2 confirm: PSS search-and-secure permit leaf not in source; the front-end and photon shutters are XF:06BM-PPS{Sh:FE} and {Sh:A} (PSS-1)
6-BM-B experiment-hutch nsls2 confirm: PSS permit leaf unknown; endstation hutch boundary to confirm (ENC-1)

Source

The bending-magnet source and the front-end / photon shutters.

Enclosure: 6-BM-A.

Name Family PV Key specs Replaceable Status
Source Beam 6-BM bending-magnet source, recorded as a PhotonBeam Supply, not an Asset (the 2-BM precedent). Beam-parameter machine state is on SR:C06. new confirm
FrontEndShutter Shutter XF:06BM-PPS{Sh:FE} Front-end safety shutter (sha); PPS-gated. confirm
PhotonShutter Shutter XF:06BM-PPS{Sh:A} Photon shutter into the optics (shb); PPS permit leaf pending (PSS-1). confirm

Optics

Condition the beam and set its energy: two mirrors, the double-crystal monochromator, the beam-defining slits, and the attenuating filters. PVs verified against startup/BMM/user_ns/instruments.py and dcm.py.

Enclosure: 6-BM-A.

CollimatingMirror Mirror XF:06BM-OP{Mir:M1 First mirror M1 (class Mirrors, 556 mm), collimating; bend/translation axes (YU/YDO/YDI/XU/XD). confirm
Monochromator Monochromator XF:06BMA-OP{Mono:DCM1 axis channels: {'Bragg': 'XF:06BMA-OP{Mono:DCM1-Ax:Bragg}Mtr'}
crystal cut: Si(111)
Double-crystal monochromator (class DCM, instance dcm, Si(111)). The Bragg angle is the energy actuator; the EnergyAxis below is the master energy. A second crystal set may be available (DCM-1).

Filter Filter XF:06BMA-BI{Fltr:01 Attenuating filter paddles (dm1_filters, Y1/Y2) in the first diagnostic module. confirm
EnergyAxis PseudoAxis The master energy axis: driving it sets the monochromator Bragg angle. An XAS measurement SWEEPS this axis across an absorption edge; that sweep is the energy_scan Capability the catalog anticipates but does not yet coin (ENERGY-1). confirm
