Source

The incident beam, produced, conditioned, and defined before the sample. A walk along the source-stage devices; the sample and detection stages are documented as their own composed-fixture pages, the controllers that drive these devices are on the Controls page, and the supplies they draw on are in Operations. Each device pairs its human name with the EPICS handle, its key specs, and whether it is field replaceable. new marks a device not yet modeled in CORA; confirm marks a value taken from the docs that staff have not yet verified.

Insertion devices

The elliptically-polarizing undulator source on the SR:C02-ID straight.

Enclosure: 2-ID-A.

Note

One InsertionDevice Asset; the EPU adds a phase (polarization) axis beyond gap, carried as a setting (SRC-1). Whether the straight is canted with a sibling beamline is TOPO-1.

Optics

The first mirror, the front-end slit, the polarization diagnostic, and the front-end / photon shutters.

Enclosure: 2-ID-A.

Note

M1 is the first horizontal-deflecting mirror; diagon is the soft X-ray polarization diagnostic (DIAG-1).

Monochromator

The plane-grating monochromator that selects the soft X-ray energy, and its slits.

Enclosure: 2-ID-B.

Note

pgm is the plane-grating monochromator (PGM): a premirror at a fixed-focus c-value (cff) plus an interchangeable grating (500 / 1200 / 1800 l/mm) set the energy. It binds the catalog GratingMonochromator Family (graduated across SIX + CSX), not the Monochromator Family (which is a crystal/multilayer Bragg DCM): a grating mono has no Bragg crystal and its resolution is set by the exit slit (MONO-1, see model.md).

Refocusing

The refocusing mirrors, their slits, and the exit slit that sets the energy resolution.

Enclosure: 2-ID-C.

Note

M3 and M4 are hexapod-mounted refocusing mirrors; extslt is the exit slit, the PGM resolution-defining element (OPT-1, OPT-2).
