Open questions

What CORA needs the P65 team to confirm before the model can be trusted.

P65 was reverse-engineered from P65's own public OnlineXML device registry (gitlab.desy.de/petra-iii-debian-packages/python-nxstools-extras-p65, branch debian/jessie) and a verified research brief, not from a live connection. The P65 registry slice is thin: an energy axis, a sample bank, a slit / table, the undulator. The XAS detection is not exposed. P65 is CORA's tenth PETRA III beamline and the applied half of the PETRA III XAS pair. 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 hutch (shared with P64) feeding the experiment endstation? A p65-oh optics hutch and a p65-eh endstation. The Enclosure grouping.
SRC-1 Nice-to-have The undulator period and parameters. An undulator; energy axis read, period pending. The source Asset detail.
GROUP-1 Nice-to-have The per-axis roles of the banks (oh_*, fe_*, a2_*). Grouped as stage Assets carrying the bank prefix; per-axis roles pending. The Asset boundaries.
STUB-1 Nice-to-have The a2_dmy* dummy stubs: test / placeholder devices, or real channels? Noted as dummy stubs, not modelled. The stub status.

Source and optics

ID Priority Question CORA assumes Resolves
OPT-1 Blocks-go-live The CDCM crystal cut and energy range, and the optics-bank breakdown. A channel-cut Monochromator energy axis and grouped optics stages; physical detail pending. The optics modelling.
HOST-1 Nice-to-have The CDCM energy / optics report on the shared P64 host (hasnp64). How is the shared optics split between P64 and P65? The P65 optics are homed in p65-oh; the host is flagged. The shared-optics mapping.

The detectors

ID Priority Question CORA assumes Resolves
DET-1 Blocks-go-live The XAS detection chain: the transmission ion chambers (I0 / I1 / I2), the fluorescence detector model, and the digitizer (absent from this registry slice). A pending FluxMonitor placeholder; the chain not invented. The detector modelling.

Control and safety

ID Priority Question CORA assumes Resolves
CTRL-1 Blocks-go-live The Tango device handles per P65 device, the shared P64 / P65 optics host, 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; optics shared with P64. Binding each Asset's control handle.
PSS-1 Blocks-go-live The DESY personnel-safety permit signals, the shared-optics coupling with P64, 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 Does X-ray absorption spectroscopy enter CORA's catalog as a Capability / Method? Deferred: carried as a pending Practice reusing the xas_spectroscopy slug; none coined. The technique Capability.
