Cristallina

hard X-ray time-resolved diffraction / scattering on quantum materials (DM1 / DM2 diffractometers in a dilution-fridge vector superconducting magnet) plus serial crystallography; the third Aramis station, closes the shared-source triad, CORA's first deployment mined from slic, a further consumer of the graduated Magnet Family, no new Family.

Property Value
Facility PSI (EPICS (SLS) + eco / slic (SwissFEL))
Source free-electron-laser
Modelled reverse-engineered, full coverage

Generated from the descriptor

This page is generated from the descriptor at deployments/cristallina/beamline.yaml. Edit the descriptor, not this page.

The device handles are read from the facility's public controls configuration and verified against it; vendor parts, energies, and physical positions are not in it and are carried confirm until beamline staff verify them. Source: gitea.psi.ch slic/cristallina.

The beamline

A hard X-ray XFEL station, the third on PSI's shared Aramis source, closing the switched-source triad (Alvra / Bernina / Cristallina fed one at a time).

  • Source: the beam, produced and conditioned before the sample.
  • Sample: the sample environment and its positioning.
  • Detector: what records the beam after the sample.
  • Controls: the control plane CORA's edge conducts over.

Not yet documented

This beamline has no Operations runbook and no live Experiment view, because CORA does not drive it yet. Both pages describe what an operator does with a running system, so writing them for a beamline CORA only models would be invention rather than documentation. The pilot at 2-BM carries both, and shows the shape they take once a deployment goes live.
