SLAC

SLAC 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 SLAC. 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
LCLS-MFX Model Controls config Full macromolecular femtosecond crystallography at the LCLS free-electron laser; the first XFEL, where the device families fold but the per-shot acquisition paradigm does not

The techniques adapted here

Planned: 3 facility Practices, each adapting a cross-facility Method; none earned into the model yet.

Safety and governance

Access at SLAC is gated by the facility safety system (LCLS personnel protection system, MFX pump-probe laser clearance, pending); the principal roster is pending; no autonomous agents run here today.

How this maps to CORA's model

SLAC is a Federation Facility (FacilityKind = Site, facility_code = "slac"); 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.
