Open questions

What CORA needs the P02 team to confirm before the model can be trusted.

P02 was reverse-engineered from P02's own public OnlineXML device registry (gitlab.desy.de/petra-iii-debian-packages/python-nxstools-extras-p02, branch debian/jessie) and a verified research brief, not from a live connection. The registry carries real Tango device names and control handles, but no crystal cuts, pressure-cell detail, or energy calibration. P02 is CORA's eighth PETRA III beamline and the fleet's second diamond-anvil-cell deployment. Each row below is a fact the beamline team owns, not a CORA modelling choice (those are on Model). It is a delete-on-answer queue. Priorities are Blocks-build, Blocks-go-live, and Nice-to-have.

Topology and scope

ID Priority Question CORA assumes Resolves
ENC-1 Blocks-go-live The hutch grouping: a shared OH1 optics hutch feeding a P02.1 powder endstation and a P02.2 extreme-conditions endstation? A p02-oh1 optics hutch and p02-1-powder / p02-2-extreme endstations, read from the device-name prefixes. The Enclosure grouping.
SRC-1 Nice-to-have The undulator period and parameters. An undulator; gap read, period pending. The source Asset detail.
GROUP-1 Nice-to-have The per-axis roles of the motor banks (eh1a/b, eh2a/b, the OH1 bank). Grouped as stage Assets carrying the bank prefix; per-axis roles pending. The Asset boundaries.
STUB-1 Nice-to-have The CH1 / CH2 tangomotor dummy stubs: test / placeholder devices, or real channels? Noted as dummy stubs, not modelled. The CH stub status.

Source and optics

ID Priority Question CORA assumes Resolves
OPT-1 Blocks-go-live The DCM crystal cut, the bendable HFM / VFM mirror coatings and focusing recipes, and the slit / CRL detail. A DCM Monochromator, two bendable Mirrors, and Slits; physical detail pending. The optics modelling.

Sample endstations

ID Priority Question CORA assumes Resolves
PRESSURE-1 Blocks-go-live The P02.2 diamond-anvil-cell control: the membrane / gas-loading / pressure-ramp interface, and the cell's positioning stages. A PressureCell Asset (the catalog Family, graduated across 13-id and P02); membrane / load control pending. The pressure-cell modelling.
TEMP-1 Nice-to-have The P02.1 sample-environment sensor / setpoint handles (Anton-Paar, Eurotherm, Lakeshore). TemperatureController controllers; in-situ furnace / cryo. The sample-environment modelling.

The detectors

ID Priority Question CORA assumes Resolves
DET-1 Blocks-go-live The detector roster per branch, the powder-vs-PDF detector roles (Pilatus 1M vs PerkinElmer), and the P02.2 high-pressure diffraction area detector. Camera area detectors plus EnergyDispersiveSpectrometer fluorescence; roles pending. The detector modelling.

Control and safety

ID Priority Question CORA assumes Resolves
CTRL-1 Blocks-go-live The Tango device handles per P02 device, the shared OH1 optics with P03, and whether the OnlineXML debian/jessie branch matches the live Tango database. The handles read from the public OnlineXML, carried pending; the floor is Tango + Sardana; OH1 shared with P03. Binding each Asset's control handle.
PSS-1 Blocks-go-live The DESY personnel-safety permit signals, the shared-optics access coupling with P03, and the photon / front-end shutters (absent from the OnlineXML). Permit leaves and shutters to be named; not invented here. The Enclosure permit signals and the safety tier.
SUP-1 Nice-to-have The vacuum extent and the cooling / beam supplies. Photon beam, cooling water, vacuum. The Supply observations.
GOV-1 Nice-to-have The DESY operator pool and safety-review structure (site-level). Carried pending on the PETRA III Site, not instantiated per beamline. The governance principals.

Technique

ID Priority Question CORA assumes Resolves
TECH-1 Nice-to-have Do powder diffraction and total scattering / PDF enter CORA's catalog as Capabilities / Methods? Deferred: carried as pending Practices reusing the powder_diffraction / total_scattering slugs i11 / i15-1 / XPD share; none coined. The technique Capabilities.
