P11

high-throughput macromolecular crystallography (rotation MX) and bio-imaging on a goniometer + Pilatus detector with cryostream cooling; PETRA III's first MX beamline, a reuse-and-reinforce deployment coining no new vocabulary (reuses the i03 MX vocabulary and the pending mx_data_collection / tomography Methods); a sparse registry, so the experiment hutch is modelled as grouped stages with the goniometer carried as a question.

This page is generated from the descriptor at deployments/p11/beamline.yaml. Edit the descriptor, not this page.

The device handles are read from the facility's public controls configuration and verified against it; vendor parts, energies, and physical positions are not in it and are carried confirm until beamline staff verify them. Source: python-nxstools-extras-p11.

The beamline

Macromolecular crystallography: rotation MX on a micro-goniometer and area detector with an automated sample changer, reusing the fleet MX vocabulary.

  • Source: the beam, produced and conditioned before the sample.
  • Sample: the sample environment and its positioning.
  • Detector: what records the beam after the sample.
  • Controls: the control plane CORA's edge conducts over.

Not yet documented

This beamline has no Operations runbook and no live Experiment view, because CORA does not drive it yet. Both pages describe what an operator does with a running system, so writing them for a beamline CORA only models would be invention rather than documentation. The pilot at 2-BM carries both, and shows the shape they take once a deployment goes live.
