Techniques

What the modelled part of P08 is designed to do, as intent. First cut.

A technique is a portable Catalog Method; a Practice is how a facility adapts it. P08's diffraction technique earns no catalog Method today, so the Method below renders unlinked and is carried pending until a technique enters scope (TECH-1).

High-resolution diffraction

P08 uses a high-resolution monochromatic beam on a six-circle diffractometer to measure surface / interface diffraction, reflectivity (XRR), and high-resolution powder / single-crystal diffraction, reading the Eiger / Pilatus / Mythen detectors.

High-resolution diffraction / reflectivity	diffraction	surface / interface diffraction and reflectivity on the six-circle Kohzu diffractometer + area / strip detectors; reuses the diffraction slug P07 share, a further consumer (TECH-1)

A diffraction beamline on familiar vocabulary

P08 is the fleet's high-resolution diffraction beamline. Its technique reuses the diffraction slug already carried pending across the fleet, so it forces no new Method now. The instrument anatomy reuses existing Families: the monochromators bind Monochromator, the six-circle diffractometer Goniometer, the CRL Transfocator, the hexapod Hexapod, the detectors Camera / EnergyDispersiveSpectrometer. The rich detector set (Eiger / Pilatus / Mythen / PerkinElmer / Vortex) suits the breadth of diffraction modes but coins no new Family.

Not modelled yet

The concrete acquisition recipes (the reflectivity / rocking-curve scans, the reciprocal-space mapping, the high-resolution powder collection) are not written yet; they join as the deployment approaches the point where CORA drives P08. Whether the diffraction Method enters CORA's catalog is an owner-scope decision on Model; see Open questions for the world-facts to confirm first.
