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 nsls2
Sector 16-ID
Tier Unit
Source insertion-device (confirm: 16-ID is an in-vacuum-undulator (IVU) beamline; the profile collection fits an empirical Keff(gap) curve (a 23 mm period implied, 3 GeV ring) but does not state the device model or length. Source identity and parameters are SRC-1)

Enclosures

Enclosure Role Facility Permit signal
lix-optics optics-hutch nsls2 confirm: PSS permit leaf not in the profile collection (the security model in the profile collection is a POSIX-ACL login, not a PSS integration); the optics and transport zones (XF:16IDA, XF:16IDB), the hutch grouping is ENC-1 (PSS-1)
lix-endstation experiment-hutch nsls2 confirm: PSS permit leaf unknown; the solution / scanning endstation (XF:16IDC), ENC-1 (PSS-1)

Machine

The machine-level source state, observed not driven.

Enclosure: lix-optics.

Note

Observe-only NSLS-II machine state, the loose StorageRing pattern reused from the NSLS-II siblings. 16-ID has an in-vacuum undulator, modelled as an InsertionDevice in the optics group below (SRC-1, MACHINE-1).

Name Family PV Key specs Replaceable Status
StorageRing StorageRing confirm: NSLS-II storage-ring state (current, fill, status); observe-only; the ring-current PV SR:OPS-BI{DCCT:1}I:Real-I is read for beam suspenders, the rest is MACHINE-1 NSLS-II storage-ring state; observe-only (MACHINE-1) new confirm

Optics

The in-vacuum undulator, the double-crystal monochromator and the incident-energy axis, the white-beam and KB focusing mirrors, the mono slit and secondary-source aperture, and the photon and fast shutters.

Enclosure: lix-optics.

Note

16-ID is an undulator beamline: the IVU binds InsertionDevice and the incident energy is a PseudoAxis over the DCM Bragg angle coupled to the undulator gap. The mirrors bind Mirror, the slits bind Slit, the shutters bind Shutter. Everything here reuses the catalog and coins nothing.

Name Family PV Key specs Replaceable Status
Undulator InsertionDevice SR:C16-ID:G1{IVU:1-Ax:Gap}-Mtr the in-vacuum undulator: a gap motor (plus brake-disengage interlock signals); the gap-to-energy lookup is an empirical Keff(gap) fit; the device model, period, and length are SRC-1 new confirm
Monochromator Monochromator XF:16IDA-OP{Mono:DCM-Ax:Bragg}Mtr the double-crystal monochromator (DCM): Bragg angle sets the energy, with second-crystal pitch / roll / offset and a fine-pitch feedback axis; a silicon crystal (lattice constant a = 5.431 angstrom, the energy law's 2/sqrt(3) factor implying the Si(111) reflection), MONO-1 new confirm
BeamEnergy PseudoAxis confirm: the incident-energy virtual axis over the DCM Bragg angle coupled to the undulator gap (lambda = 2 d sin(Bragg)); the partition rule and crystal cut are MONO-1 incident-energy pseudo-axis over the DCM Bragg angle and the undulator gap (MONO-1) new confirm
WhiteBeamMirror Mirror XF:16IDA-OP{Mir:WBM-Ax:P}Mtr the white-beam mirror (x / y / pitch) taking the heat load and rejecting harmonics; coating is OPT-1 new confirm
KbMirror Mirror XF:16IDA-OP{Mir:KBH-Ax:YU}Mtr the Kirkpatrick-Baez focusing pair (a horizontal mirror KBH and a vertical mirror KBV, each on tip / tilt / bend); one Asset for the pair at this cut; whether the mirrors are bimorph and their coatings are OPT-1 new confirm
MonoSlit Slit XF:16IDA-OP{Slt:1-Ax:T}Mtr the mono four-blade defining slit (T / B / O / I); blade-axis map is OPT-2 new confirm
SecondarySourceAperture Slit XF:16IDB-OP{Slt:SSA1-Ax:T}Mtr the secondary-source aperture in the transport zone (XF:16IDB), defining the focused source size (OPT-2) new confirm
PhotonShutter Shutter XF:16IDA-PPS{PSh}Enbl-Sts the personnel-protection photon shutter; only the enable-status leaf is in the profile collection, the front-end shutter and the search-and-secure leaves are PSS-1 new confirm
FastShutter Shutter XF:16IDB-BI{shutter:1}sts the millisecond fast shutter on its own translation stage, gating the exposure; it is driven by a TTL pulse from the timing seam (the Zebra / XPS), the exposure-timing seam (TRIG-1) new confirm

Focusing

The endstation-zone focusing and beam-defining optics: the compound refractive lens transfocator, the divergence-defining aperture, and the guard slit.

Enclosure: lix-endstation.

Note

These optics sit in the endstation zone (XF:16IDC) but condition the beam, so they are part of the source stage. The compound refractive lens binds the graduated Transfocator Family (a well-established graduated optic across the fleet); the divergence-defining aperture and the guard slit each bind Slit.

Name Family PV Key specs Replaceable Status
Transfocator Transfocator XF:16IDC-OP{CRL-Ax:Z}Mtr the compound refractive lens (CRL) transfocator: a z translation plus upstream / downstream x / y alignment, with nine selectable lens groups (per-group in / out and a busy flag) setting the focal length; reuses the graduated Transfocator Family (also bound by the NSLS-II siblings CHX / IXS / SMI / FMX and the APS / Diamond CRLs); the lens-group configuration is CRL-1 new confirm
DivergenceAperture Slit XF:16IDC-OP{Slt:DDA-Ax:X}Mtr the divergence-defining aperture (center / gap) setting the beam divergence at the endstation (OPT-2) new confirm
GuardSlit Slit XF:16IDC-OP{Slt:G2-Ax:X}Mtr the endstation guard slit (center / gap) cleaning up parasitic scatter before the sample; the upstream Slt:G1 is disabled in the profile collection (OPT-2) new confirm
