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.

Property Value
Facility nsls2
Sector Sector 4
Tier Unit
Source bending-magnet (confirm: 4-BM bending-magnet source; not an insertion device. The profile collection exposes only the endstation (the raster stage + detectors), not the source / optics, so those are carried confirm-only (SRC-1, PROFILE-1).)

Enclosures

Enclosure Role Facility Permit signal
4-BM-A optics-hutch nsls2 confirm: PSS search-and-secure permit leaf and shutter PVs not in the profile collection (PSS-1, PROFILE-1)
4-BM-C experiment-hutch nsls2 confirm: PSS permit leaf unknown; 4-BM-C (PV zone XF:04BMC) is the endstation carrying the raster stage and the fluorescence detectors. Hutch layout to confirm (PSS-1, ENC-1)

Source

The bending-magnet source and the front-end / photon shutters.

Enclosure: 4-BM-A.

Source Beam 4-BM bending-magnet source, recorded as a PhotonBeam Supply, not an Asset (the 2-BM / BMM precedent). Beam-parameter machine state is on SR:C04. new confirm
FrontEndShutter Shutter confirm: front-end safety shutter; PPS-gated. PV not in the profile collection (PSS-1, PROFILE-1)
Front-end photon shutter (not exposed in the profile collection).

PhotonShutter Shutter confirm: photon shutter into the optics; PV not in the profile collection (PSS-1, PROFILE-1)
Photon shutter gating the beam into the optics (not exposed in the profile collection).

Optics

Condition the beam and set its energy: the double-crystal monochromator, the microfocusing optic, and the beam-defining slits. These are not exposed in the profile collection (which carries only the endstation), so they are carried confirm-only with no fabricated PV (PROFILE-1).

Enclosure: 4-BM-A.

Name Family PV Key specs Replaceable Status
Monochromator Monochromator confirm: the 4-BM double-crystal monochromator (Si(111) is the known 4-BM crystal); the energy actuator for XRF / XANES. PV and crystal set not in the profile collection (DCM-1, PROFILE-1)
Double-crystal monochromator selecting the incident energy. Reuses the Monochromator family. Not exposed in the profile collection (DCM-1).
confirm
FocusingOptic Mirror confirm: the microfocusing optic (KB mirror pair or capillary) that forms the microprobe spot; type and PV not in the profile collection (OPT-1, PROFILE-1)
Beam-focusing optic forming the microprobe. Reuses the Mirror family. Not exposed in the profile collection (OPT-1).
confirm
BeamDefiningSlit Slit confirm: beam-defining slit(s) ahead of the focusing optic; PV not in the profile collection (PROFILE-1)
Beam-defining slit. Reuses the Slit family. Not exposed in the profile collection.
confirm
EnergyAxis PseudoAxis confirm: the master energy axis (the DCM energy); XANES microspectroscopy sweeps it across an edge. PV not in the profile collection (ENERGY-1, PROFILE-1)
The master energy axis driving the monochromator. XANES microspectroscopy sweeps it; that energy sweep leans on the deferred energy_scan Capability (ENERGY-1, the BMM question).
