The experiment's stages

The 101 scans read as an experiment: fifteen stages S01–S15 from the heating ramp to the background, with the clock times (10–11 June 2026), the scan cadence, and the crude peak count and strongest peak above 1° at the start and end of each stage. The stages are drawn from the names (temperature, elapsed time) and from the files (exposure class, statistics); the counts are recomputed from the files on every build.

• S01 · scans 001–014 · 18:09–21:05Heating ramp, 900 → 1225 °C in 25 °C steps

  Fourteen long scans, one per temperature step, all tagged with a C in the original names. The sample is almost featureless at 900–950 °C; a crystalline phase appears between 975 and 1000 °C (F04).

  14 scans · one long scan every ~810 s (13.5 min) · peaks above 1°: 2 → 39 · max I above 1°: 612 → 621

• S02 · scans 015–017 · 21:15–21:36Transition to time-resolved mode, 1225 → 1240 °C

  Three long scans without the C tag: one more at 1225 °C, two at 1240 °C. Same exposure class as the ramp scans, but spaced like the series that follows.

  3 scans · long scans ~620–640 s apart · peaks above 1°: 53 → 63 · max I above 1°: 603 → 625

  The first short scans. From here to scan 083 the cadence is one scan every 4.4 min.

• S05 · scans 026–030 · 22:16–22:331250 °C series

  Five scans.

  5 scans · short scans every ~262 s · peaks above 1°: 57 → 56 · max I above 1°: 663 → 716

• S06 · scans 031 · 22:40–22:401266 °C, a single scan

  One scan on the way to 1270 °C.

  1 scan · 436 s after the previous scan · peaks above 1°: 58 · max I above 1°: 636

• S07 · scans 032–070 · 22:45–01:311270 °C isothermal hold, 39 scans over 2.8 h

  The longest series. The peak count grows steadily from 54 to 138 and the strongest peak from 630 to 990 counts: something is forming or growing at constant nominal temperature. The natural dataset for kinetics.

  39 scans · short scans every ~262 s · peaks above 1°: 54 → 138 · max I above 1°: 632 → 986

• S08 · scans 071 · 01:36–01:361272 °C, a single scan

  One scan at an intermediate set point.

  1 scan · 290 s after the previous scan · peaks above 1°: 142 · max I above 1°: 992

• S09 · scans 072–079 · 01:40–02:111275 °C series

  Eight scans; the growth continues.

  8 scans · short scans every ~262 s · peaks above 1°: 146 → 190 · max I above 1°: 1026 → 1244

• S11 · scans 084–085 · 02:41–02:561290 °C: one long scan, then one anomalous short scan

  Scan 084 is a long scan tagged 1290C. Scan 085, tagged 1290, has a median relative error of 0.066 against 0.046–0.049 for every other short scan, and its peak count drops from 227 to 160: a shorter or partial exposure (F05).

  One scan on the way to 1300 °C.

  1 scan · 458 s after the previous scan · peaks above 1°: 228 · max I above 1°: 1779

  Tagged 1300C in the original: the long-exposure counterpart of the series, 322 peaks.

  1 scan · 638 s after the previous scan · peaks above 1°: 322 · max I above 1°: 2613

• S15 · scans 101 · 04:46–04:46Background: empty capillary, no sample

  A long scan with no sample, 0 peaks above 1°, integrated intensity 4.16 million against 4.5–4.7 million with the sample. The reference for background subtraction.

  1 scan · 2064 s after the previous scan · peaks above 1°: 0 · max I above 1°: 675

Reading the timeline

• Two cadences. Long scans 620–900 s apart (the ramp, the transitions, the two closing long scans); short scans 250–290 s apart (the series). The cadence is the scan macro's; the classes are told apart by the contents (F02).
• Two events in the sample. A crystalline phase appears between 975 and 1000 °C (S01) and stays roughly constant to 1250 °C; a second growth of crystallinity begins during the 1270 °C hold (S07) and continues to 1300 °C (S13, S14). See F04.
• One anomaly. Scan 085 in S11 (F05).
• The temperatures are set points typed into the scan names, not a thermocouple record (F07).
