Modelled reverse-engineered, full coverage

Generated from the descriptor

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

The values are read from the beamline's design report and carried confirm until staff verify them against the built instrument.

The beamline

A PSI SLS 2.0 undulator micro-CT beamline (absorption and phase-contrast, fast 4D tomography on the GigaFRoST camera), the closest SLS analog to the APS 2-BM pilot; modelled from its design report.

  • 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.
