PETRA III

PETRA III is a Federation Facility (FacilityKind = Site): the home for the facility-level facts an experiment inherits but does not own. The beamlines it hosts link up to this page rather than restating it.

The beamlines

What CORA models at PETRA III. Each row's badges and one-line summary are read from the beamline's own descriptor; follow the link for the full model.

Beamline Maturity Evidence Coverage What it is
P01 Model Controls config Full nuclear resonant scattering and inelastic / resonant-inelastic scattering (2.5-80 keV) across two optics hutches and three experiment hutches (EH1 NRS high-resolution-monochromator stack, EH2 diffraction, EH3 RIXS / KB pair); reuses the optics / motion Families, novelty is the Site, its Tango / Sardana control plane read from the OnlineXML, and the NRS / RIXS technique branch (reusing the pending IXS / RIXS Methods)
P04 Model Controls config Full variable-polarization soft X-ray spectroscopy (250-3000 eV: XAS, photoemission) across a soft X-ray optics section and two experiment endstations; CORA's first GratingMonochromator deployment (the plane-grating mono), reuses the optics / motion Families otherwise, reusing the pending xas_spectroscopy / angle_resolved_photoemission Methods
P06 Model Controls config Full hard X-ray scanning micro / nano fluorescence and diffraction microscopy + nano-tomography across an optics hutch and two scanning-probe endstations (MC01 micro, NC1 nano); the fleet's fullest scanning-probe instrument (the Maia XRF array as EnergyDispersiveSpectrometer, hexapods, Aerotech fly-scan stages), coins no new Family, reusing the pending scanning_fluorescence_microscopy / tomography Methods
P11 Model Controls config Full 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
P03 Model Controls config Full micro- and nanofocus small- and wide-angle X-ray scattering (SAXS / WAXS, 9-23 keV) across shared P02 / P03 optics and two endstations (a microfocus endstation and the nanofocus GINIX waveguide endstation); PETRA III's first SAXS / WAXS beamline, coins no new Family, brings Galil DMC and SmarPod controllers, reusing the pending small_angle_scattering / wide_angle_scattering Methods
P10 Model Controls config Full coherent hard X-ray applications (XPCS, coherent diffraction imaging / ptychography) across an optics hutch and three experiment areas (E1 coherent imaging, E2 XPCS / diffraction, LAB); a further XPCS beamline (after APS 8-ID and NSLS-II CHX) and the first PETRA III practice to bind a graduated catalog Method (xpcs, earned at 8-ID) rather than a pending slug; coins no new Family, with the widest detector suite in the set
P09 Model Controls config Full resonant scattering, diffraction, and high-field magnetism (XMCD, magnetic scattering) across a resonant-scattering hutch, a diffraction hutch, and a 14 T magnetism endstation; a further consumer of the 4-ID polarization / magnetism vocabulary (the catalog PhaseRetarder, PolarizationAnalyzer, and Magnet Families), coins no new Family, reusing the pending resonant_scattering / magnetic_scattering / xmcd Methods
P02 Model Controls config Full high-energy hard X-ray diffraction: P02.1 powder diffraction / total scattering / PDF (~60 keV) + P02.2 extreme conditions (diamond-anvil-cell high-pressure diffraction); the fleet's second diamond-anvil-cell deployment (binds the catalog PressureCell, graduated across 13-ID and P02), bendable HFM / VFM mirrors, coins no new Family, reusing the pending powder_diffraction / total_scattering Methods
P64 Model Controls config Full advanced X-ray absorption spectroscopy (dilute / high-rate fluorescence EXAFS / XANES) on a Tsai DCM + a multi-element fluorescence detector (104-channel SIS3302); the advanced half of the PETRA III XAS pair, coins no new Family, reusing the pending xas_spectroscopy Method
P65 Model Controls config Full applied / high-throughput X-ray absorption spectroscopy (transmission + fluorescence EXAFS / XANES) on a channel-cut DCM, sharing the P64 optics host; the applied half of the XAS pair, a thin reuse-and-reinforce scaffold (detection carried pending), reusing the pending xas_spectroscopy Method
P07 Model Controls config Full high-energy materials-science diffraction (HEMS) on a multi-bounce DCM + four-circle diffractometer, with a 17 T high-field magnet endstation; jointly operated by Helmholtz-Zentrum Hereon + DESY, coins no new Family (a further consumer of the graduated Magnet Family), reusing the pending diffraction / magnetic_scattering Methods
P08 Model Controls config Full high-resolution diffraction (surface / interface, reflectivity, powder / single-crystal) on a six-circle Kohzu diffractometer with a rich detector set (Eiger / Pilatus / Mythen / PerkinElmer / Vortex); coins no new Family, reusing the pending diffraction Method
P21 Model Controls config Full Swedish Materials Science high-energy diffraction (P21.2) and total scattering / PDF (P21.1) across an optics hutch, an EH3 endstation, and a LAB station; a thin reuse-and-reinforce scaffold (grouped motor banks, detectors carried pending), reusing the pending diffraction / total_scattering Methods
P22 Model Controls config Full hard X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (HAXPES) on a Manipulator sample stage + ElectronAnalyzer, sharing the P09 optics chain (undulator / DCM / mirrors / phase retarder); coins no new Family, reusing the pending angle_resolved_photoemission Method; the fleet's first shared-optics beamline pair
P23 Model Controls config Full in-situ / operando X-ray diffraction and imaging; a thin reuse-and-reinforce scaffold (one grouped motor bank, optics / diffractometer / detectors carried grouped / pending), reusing the pending diffraction Method
P24 Model Controls config Full single-crystal / small-molecule chemical crystallography across an optics hutch and two experiment hutches (EH1 / EH2); coins no new Family (the small-molecule diffractometer reuses LinearStage, area detector pending), reusing the pending diffraction Method
P61 Model Controls config Full high-energy white-beam wiggler beamline (P61A Large Volume Press + P61B energy-dispersive diffraction); a thin reuse-and-reinforce scaffold (one grouped motor bank, source / press / detectors pending), reusing the pending energy_dispersive_diffraction Method; the last PETRA III beamline with a public OnlineXML registry
P13 Model Controls config Full EMBL Hamburg macromolecular crystallography (rotation MX); CORA's first EMBL Hamburg beamline, MXCuBE HardwareObjects source
P14 Model Controls config Full EMBL Hamburg high-end two-endstation macromolecular crystallography (MX), the sibling of P13

Nineteen beamlines on the PETRA III ring read from a common Tango / Sardana OnlineXML registry; several share optics (P22 runs off the P09 chain).

The techniques adapted here

A Practice is PETRA III's facility-tuned form of a cross-facility Method: the ISA-88 Site Recipe layer. The Method names a technique abstractly in the Catalog; the Practice is how the beamline runs it here. Each row links up to the Method it adapts.

Planned: 30 further Practices.

Safety and governance

Access at PETRA III is gated by the facility safety system (DESY personnel safety system, pending); the principal roster is pending; no autonomous agents run here today.

How this maps to CORA's model

PETRA III is a Federation Facility (FacilityKind = Site, facility_code = "petra-iii"); the beamlines above are its root Assets (tier = Unit), and their sub-systems nest below by parent_id. See the CORA model for the aggregate shapes.
