Detector

The Eiger on the two-theta arm, plus a second translation and the incident-flux monitor. Design-phase; values are reverse-engineered from dodal or inferred.

I15-1's detection is the total-scattering shape: a large area detector capturing wide-Q scattering across the two-theta arm, plus an incident-flux monitor for normalization. They are modelled in the detection stage of the descriptor.

The detectors and flux monitor

Device Family Role Control handle Notes
Eiger Camera Detector BL15I-EA-EIGER-01: Dectris Eiger area detector, capturing wide-Q total-scattering frames
Detector2 LinearStage Positioner BL15I-EA-DET-02: a second detector translation (y / z)
I0 FluxMonitor Sensor BL15I-EA-JBPM-03: incident-flux monitor (TetrAMM JBPM) for normalization

How each maps onto CORA

  • The Eiger reuses Camera. A pixel-array area detector is the Camera Family presenting the Detector Role. The two-theta arm it rides (TwoTheta, a RotaryStage) is on the Sample page; the arm geometry and the Eiger threshold / beam-center are calibration dodal does not carry (DET-1).
  • The flux monitor reuses FluxMonitor. A TetrAMM ion-chamber readout presenting the Sensor Role, the same shape I22 uses for its i0 / it. This deployment completed the rule-of-three (i22/i03/i15-1) that graduated FluxMonitor into the catalog (FLUX-1).

Families

The Eiger reuses Camera, the second detector translation reuses LinearStage, and the flux monitor reuses the now-graduated FluxMonitor. No new Family is coined on the detector side. See Inventory for the Asset tree and Open questions for the calibration still to confirm.
