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.

Source insertion-device (confirm: IVU20 in-vacuum undulator (SR:C3-ID:G1{IVU20:1}), verified in source; period/gap parameters not fully in the profile collection (SRC-1))

Enclosures

Enclosure Role Facility Permit signal
3-ID-A optics-hutch nsls2 confirm: PSS search-and-secure permit leaf not in source; the photon shutter is XF:03IDB-PPS{PSh} (PSS-1)
3-ID-C experiment-hutch nsls2 confirm: PSS permit leaf unknown; the XF:03IDB intermediate zone (SSA1, slow shutter) may be a distinct enclosure (ENC-1)

Source

The in-vacuum undulator source.

Enclosure: 3-ID-A.

Name Family PV Key specs Replaceable Status
Source InsertionDevice SR:C3-ID:G1{IVU20:1 IVU20 in-vacuum undulator (ophyd InsertionDevice, instance ugap); gap-driven. Period/field parameters pending (SRC-1). confirm

Optics

Condition the beam and set its energy: the double-crystal monochromator, three mirrors, and the white-beam slits. PVs verified against startup/10-optics.py.

Enclosure: 3-ID-A.

Name Family PV Key specs Replaceable Status
Monochromator Monochromator XF:03IDA-OP{Mon:1 axis channels: {'Bragg': 'XF:03IDA-OP{Mon:1-Ax:Bragg}Mtr'}
Double-crystal monochromator (class HxnDCM, instance dcm). Energy is the EnergyAxis pseudo-axis below (monoe), which drives Bragg; crystal cut and range pending (DCM-1).

CollimatingMirror Mirror XF:03IDA-OP{HCM:1 Horizontal collimating mirror (class HxnMirror1, HCM:1). confirm
FocusingMirror Mirror XF:03IDA-OP{HFM:1 Horizontal focusing mirror (class HxnMirror2, HFM:1), with a pitch-feedback axis. confirm
VerticalMirror Mirror XF:03IDA-OP{VMS:1 axis channels: {'Y': 'XF:03IDA-OP{VMS:1-Ax:Y}Mtr', 'P': 'XF:03IDA-OP{VMS:1-Ax:P}Mtr', 'TX': 'XF:03IDA-OP{VMS:1-Ax:TX}Mtr'}
Vertical mirror system (class HxnVMS, VMS:1); bend/pitch/translation axes.
confirm
WhiteBeamSlit Slit XF:03IDA-OP{Slt:1 First white-beam-defining slit (class HxnSlitA1, instance s1); a second slit s2 sits at XF:03IDA-OP{Slt:2}. confirm
EnergyAxis PseudoAxis The master energy pseudo-axis (class PseudoEnergyMotor, instance monoe). Driving it sets the monochromator Bragg angle; an energy change co-moves the zone-plate refocus per element (see techniques.md, ENERGY-1). confirm
BeamPositionMonitor GenericProbe XF:03IDA-BI{Slt:1} Beam-position / intensity diagnostics (class HxnI400, instance s1_bpm) plus bpm1..bpm5 stages; read-only. confirm

Intermediate

The secondary-source aperture that defines the coherent probe, plus the photon shutter.

Enclosure: 3-ID-C.

Name Family PV Key specs Replaceable Status
SecondarySourceAperture Slit XF:03IDB-OP{Slt:SSA1 Secondary-source aperture (class HxnSSAperture, instance ssa1) defining the coherence-matched source; a second SSA2 sits at XF:03IDC-OP{Slt:SSA2}. confirm
PhotonShutter Shutter XF:03IDB-PPS{PSh} PPS slow photon shutter (instance bshutter). The fast shutter is on the Zebra (Zeb:2). PPS permit leaf pending (PSS-1). confirm
