Declares which child group contains a path leading to a NXdata group.

It is recommended (as of NIAC2014) to use this attribute to help define the path to the default dataset to be plotted. See https://www.nexusformat.org/2014_How_to_find_default_data.html for a summary of the discussion.

critical_energy: (optional) NX_FLOAT {units=NX_ENERGY}

bending_radius: (optional) NX_FLOAT {units=NX_LENGTH}

magnetic_field: (optional) NX_FLOAT {units=NX_CURRENT}

strength of magnetic field of dipole magnets

accepted_photon_beam_divergence: (optional) NX_FLOAT {units=NX_LENGTH}

An array of four numbers giving X+, X-, Y+ and Y- half divergence

source_distance_x: (optional) NX_FLOAT {units=NX_LENGTH}

Distance of source point from particle beam waist in X (horizontal) direction. ...

Distance of source point from particle beam waist in X (horizontal) direction. Note, it is recommended to use NXtransformations instead to place component.

source_distance_y: (optional) NX_FLOAT {units=NX_LENGTH}

Distance of source point from particle beam waist in Y (vertical) direction. ...

Distance of source point from particle beam waist in Y (vertical) direction. Note, it is recommended to use NXtransformations instead to place component.

divergence_x_plus: (optional) NX_FLOAT {units=NX_ANGLE}

Accepted photon beam divergence in X+ (horizontal outboard) direction. ...

Accepted photon beam divergence in X+ (horizontal outboard) direction. Note that divergence_x_plus+divergence_x_minus is the total horizontal beam divergence.

divergence_x_minus: (optional) NX_FLOAT {units=NX_ANGLE}

Accepted photon beam divergence in X- (horizontal inboard) direction. ...

Accepted photon beam divergence in X- (horizontal inboard) direction. Note that divergence_x_plus+divergence_x_minus is the total horizontal beam divergence.

divergence_y_plus: (optional) NX_FLOAT {units=NX_ANGLE}

Accepted photon beam divergence in Y+ (vertical upward) direction. ...

Accepted photon beam divergence in Y+ (vertical upward) direction. Note that divergence_y_plus+divergence_y_minus is the total vertical beam divergence.

divergence_y_minus: (optional) NX_FLOAT {units=NX_ANGLE}

Accepted photon beam divergence in Y- (vertical downward) direction. ...

Accepted photon beam divergence in Y- (vertical downward) direction. Note that divergence_y_plus+divergence_y_minus is the total vertical beam divergence.

depends_on: (optional) NX_CHAR

NeXus positions components by applying a set of translations and rotations ...

NeXus positions components by applying a set of translations and rotations to apply to the component starting from 0, 0, 0. The order of these operations is critical and forms what NeXus calls a dependency chain. The depends_on field defines the path to the top most operation of the dependency chain or the string “.” if located in the origin. Usually these operations are stored in a NXtransformations group. But NeXus allows them to be stored anywhere.

spectrum: (optional) NXdata

bending magnet spectrum

GEOMETRY: (optional) NXgeometry

DEPRECATED: Use the field depends_on and NXtransformations to position the bending magnet and NXoff_geometry to describe its shape instead

“Engineering” position of bending magnet

OFF_GEOMETRY: (optional) NXoff_geometry

This group describes the shape of the beam line component

TRANSFORMATIONS: (optional) NXtransformations
