Open questions

What CORA needs the P06 team to confirm before the model can be trusted.

P06 was reverse-engineered from P06's own public OnlineXML device registry (gitlab.desy.de/petra-iii-debian-packages/python-nxstools-extras-p06, 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 focal sizes, detector models, or energy calibration. P06 is CORA's third PETRA III beamline and its fullest scanning-probe 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: an optics / mono hutch feeding two scanning-probe endstations (MC01 micro, NC1 nano)? A p06-mono hutch and two p06-mc01 / p06-nc1 endstations, read from the OnlineXML host names. The Enclosure grouping.
HOST-1 Nice-to-have Several detectors (Lambda, the detector pool) report on a bare p06 / petra3 Tango host. Is that a shared detector host, or a registry artifact? The detectors are homed in the endstation that operates them; the host is flagged. The detector-to-host mapping.
GROUP-1 Nice-to-have The per-axis roles of the motor banks (mono_mot, mi_mot01..84, nat_mot01..32). Grouped as stage Assets carrying the bank prefix; per-axis roles pending. The sample / instrument-stage Asset boundaries.

Source and optics

ID Priority Question CORA assumes Resolves
SRC-1 Nice-to-have The undulator period and parameters. An undulator; gap / harmonic / taper read, period pending. The source Asset detail.
OPT-1 Blocks-go-live The DCM crystal cut, the multilayer monochromator d-spacing, and the KB-lens focal sizes (horizontal and vertical). A DCM + a multilayer Monochromator, two KB Hexapod carriers; handles read, physical detail pending. The optics modelling.

Sample endstations

ID Priority Question CORA assumes Resolves
SCAN-1 Blocks-go-live The Aerotech fly-scan raster trajectories and the motion-detector triggering coupling (MC01 and NC1). LinearStage scan stages with a continuous fly-scan role; parameters pending. The scanning-acquisition modelling.
SAMPLE-1 Nice-to-have The NC1 SmarAct sample-piezo axes and the Pegasus sample-rotation detail (the nano-tomography axis). A LinearStage piezo stack and a RotaryStage rotation; axis set pending. The sample-stage modelling.

The detectors

ID Priority Question CORA assumes Resolves
DET-1 Blocks-go-live The detector roster per experiment, the Maia element count, and the area-detector models (Eiger / Lambda / Pilatus / PCO variants). A Maia EnergyDispersiveSpectrometer (one Asset, six sub-devices), XIA fluorescence, and Camera area detectors; models pending. The detector modelling.

Control and safety

ID Priority Question CORA assumes Resolves
CTRL-1 Blocks-go-live The Tango device handles per P06 device, 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. Binding each Asset's control handle.
PSS-1 Blocks-go-live The DESY personnel-safety permit signals 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 scanning fluorescence / diffraction microscopy and nano-tomography enter CORA's catalog as Capabilities / Methods? Deferred: carried as pending Practices reusing the scanning_fluorescence_microscopy and tomography slugs; none coined. The technique Capabilities.
