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.

Property Value
Facility diamond
Sector Sector 06
Tier Unit
Source insertion-device (confirm: i06 is a soft X-ray APPLE-II undulator beamline; dodal binds the two APPLE-II insertion devices (modelled below) but not their period; the undulator detail is SRC-1)

Enclosures

Enclosure Role Facility Permit signal
i06-optics optics-hutch diamond confirm: PSS permit leaf not in dodal; the shared soft X-ray optics zone (BL06I), hutch grouping is ENC-1 (PSS-1)
i06-1 experiment-hutch diamond confirm: PSS permit leaf unknown; the diffraction-dichroism endstation (BL06J), ENC-1 (PSS-1)
i06-2 experiment-hutch diamond confirm: PSS permit leaf unknown; the PEEM endstation (BL06K), ENC-1 (PSS-1)

Machine

The machine-level source state, observed not driven.

Enclosure: i06-optics.

Note

dodal's Synchrotron device is the observe-only machine state, the loose StorageRing pattern reused from the Diamond siblings (MACHINE-1).

StorageRing StorageRing SR-DI-DCCT-01: Diamond storage-ring state (ring current SR-DI-DCCT-01, energy / mode CS-CS-MSTAT-01, top-up SR-CS-FILL-01); observe-only (MACHINE-1) new confirm

Insertion devices

The twin APPLE-II undulators, the variable-polarization soft X-ray source.

Enclosure: i06-optics.

Note

Both APPLE-II undulators bind the catalog InsertionDevice Family, the same source-undulator anatomy as the EPUs at SIX / CSX / ESM. The variable-polarization phase rows, the EPICS energy <-> gap polynomial lookup, and the coordinating controller are per-Asset settings and the bound Model, not a new Family. Only the upstream IDU exposes the driven energy / polarization handles in dodal; the idd / idu asymmetry is POL-2.

UndulatorDownstream InsertionDevice SR06I-MO-SERVC-01: the downstream (IDD) APPLE-II undulator: gap on SR06I-MO-SERVC-01, locked phase rows, the energy <-> gap polynomial on BL06I-OP-IDD-01; period is SRC-1 new confirm
UndulatorUpstream InsertionDevice SR06I-MO-SERVC-21: the upstream (IDU) APPLE-II undulator: gap on SR06I-MO-SERVC-21, the energy <-> gap polynomial on BL06I-OP-IDU-01; exposes the driven energy / polarization handles (SRC-1, POL-2) new confirm

Optics

The soft X-ray plane-grating monochromator.

Enclosure: i06-optics.

Note

The PGM binds GratingMonochromator, the SIX / CSX / ESM soft X-ray precedent; grating line density and cff are per-Asset settings.

Monochromator GratingMonochromator BL06I-OP-PGM-01: soft X-ray plane-grating monochromator: energy on ENERGY, the interchangeable grating (150 / 400 / 1200 l/mm) and the fixed-focus cff are per-Asset settings (MONO-1) new confirm

Beam axes

The two driven source quantities a soft X-ray dichroism run sets: the incident energy and, the fleet-first, the X-ray polarization.

Enclosure: i06-optics.

Note

Both are virtual axes over the source, bound to the catalog PseudoAxis Family (the 2-BM beam-energy precedent). The incident energy decomposes to the PGM and the APPLE-II gap; the polarization decomposes to the APPLE-II phase rows via the i06 controller. Modelling polarization as a PseudoAxis sibling of energy is how i06 carries the variable-polarization novelty without a new primitive; the polarization partition rule is carried rule-less by default (POL-1).

Name Family PV Key specs Replaceable Status
BeamEnergy PseudoAxis confirm: incident-energy virtual axis (70-2200 eV) over the PGM energy and the APPLE-II gap (InsertionDeviceEnergy, Flyable); the partition rule (grating + the energy <-> gap polynomial) is MONO-1 incident-energy pseudo-axis over the PGM and the upstream APPLE-II (the 2-BM beam-energy pattern); MONO-1 new confirm
Polarization PseudoAxis confirm: polarization virtual axis (InsertionDevicePolarisation); value domain LH / LV / PC / NC / LA plus third-harmonic variants, decomposing to the APPLE-II locked phase rows via the controller; rule-less by default (POL-1) the fleet-first polarization pseudo-axis over the upstream APPLE-II; the Pol value set is the axis domain, the controller's polarization-to-phase conversion is its partition rule, carried rule-less (POL-1, POL-2) new confirm
