Sirius

Sirius 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 Sirius. 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
MANACA Model Narrative Full macromolecular crystallography (rotation MX, serial and room-temperature) on a goniometer + area detector with a 48-pin sample changer; Sirius's first MX beamline, reuses the i03 / FMX / AMX / MX3 Goniometer and MX Methods on the EPICS floor + MXCuBE3, no new Family
MOGNO Model Narrative Partial cone-beam X-ray micro and nanotomography (phase-contrast, time-resolved 4D) across two stations; reuses the 2-BM / FXI tomography vocabulary, novelty is the Site and the fleet's first custom-Python (non-Bluesky) orchestration layer

MOGNO (tomography) and MANACA (MX) are independent beamlines on the Sirius 3 GeV ring; the set is a thin scaffold pending staff confirmation.

The techniques adapted here

Planned: 4 facility Practices, each adapting a cross-facility Method; none earned into the model yet.

Safety and governance

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

How this maps to CORA's model

Sirius is a Federation Facility (FacilityKind = Site, facility_code = "sirius"); 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.
