docs: add HDF5.md describing the NeXus layout and JFJoch extensions
New docs/HDF5.md documents the on-disk HDF5/NeXus format produced by the writer: a FAIR/derived-metadata rationale (CXI-style per-image spot layout, NXreflections for integration), the master/data-file layout and the three NXmx format variants, the NXmx-standard fields that are populated, and every Jungfraujoch extension group (/entry/MX, /entry/reflections, /entry/azint, /entry/roi, /entry/image, /entry/profiling, /entry/detector, /entry/xfel, detectorSpecific, calibration, fluorescence, user). Content is derived from writer/HDF5NXmx.cpp and writer/HDF5DataFilePlugin*.cpp and cross-checked against the NXmx and NXreflections definitions. JFJOCH_WRITER.md's stale, partial structure table is replaced by a pointer to the new doc; HDF5 is added to the Sphinx toctree. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.8 <noreply@anthropic.com>

# HDF5 / NeXus data format
|
||||
|
||||
Jungfraujoch stores images and on-the-fly analysis results in HDF5 files that aim to be
|
||||
[NXmx](https://manual.nexusformat.org/classes/applications/NXmx.html)-compliant. On top of the
|
||||
NXmx application definition, Jungfraujoch records a substantial amount of *derived* metadata
|
||||
(spot finding, indexing, integration, azimuthal integration, per-image statistics, timing). These
|
||||
extra entries do not exist in NXmx and are documented here so that the layout is unambiguous and
|
||||
reusable.
|
||||
|
||||
This page documents the **file layout and the data fields**. The operational behaviour of the
|
||||
writer (running, republishing, file finalisation, CBF/TIFF output) is described in
|
||||
[jfjoch_writer](JFJOCH_WRITER.md). The wire format that feeds the writer is described in
|
||||
[CBOR messages](CBOR.md); fields below frequently correspond one-to-one to CBOR message fields, and
|
||||
that document is a useful companion for their meaning.
|
||||
|
||||
## 1. Motivation: derived metadata and FAIR data
|
||||
|
||||
The goal of Jungfraujoch is not only to store high-throughput datasets efficiently, but to keep
|
||||
them findable, accessible, interoperable and reusable (FAIR). For serial crystallography this is
|
||||
hard for two practical reasons:
|
||||
|
||||
* **Findability.** Raw diffraction images carry almost no descriptive metadata about *content*.
|
||||
Quantities such as background level, number of diffraction spots, or indexing outcome let a user
|
||||
judge the quality and relevance of a dataset *before* inspecting the raw images.
|
||||
* **Accessibility at scale.** A single experiment can span tens to hundreds of terabytes. Standard
|
||||
retrieval (e.g. HTTP) makes a dataset *available* but not *inspectable* — users would otherwise
|
||||
have to download a large fraction of the data just to decide whether it is useful. Compact
|
||||
derived representations make discovery, assessment and reuse feasible.
|
||||
|
||||
Because Jungfraujoch couples acquisition with real-time analysis used to *steer* experiments,
|
||||
transparency and reproducibility of that analysis matter. As a minimum the writer therefore
|
||||
preserves spot-finding and indexing results together with the filters that were applied, and it can
|
||||
retain an unbiased, down-sampled reference set of unfiltered images for validation and reuse.
|
||||
|
||||
### Why a CXI-style per-image layout for spot finding / indexing
|
||||
|
||||
Spot-finding and indexing results in serial crystallography are inherently *image-centric*: the
|
||||
natural query is "give me the spots for image *n*". For these products Jungfraujoch adopts a layout
|
||||
similar to the [Coherent X-ray Imaging (CXI) data bank](https://www.cxidb.org) (Maia, 2012) and the
|
||||
convention understood by [CrystFEL](https://www.desy.de/~twhite/crystfel/): spot properties
|
||||
(position, intensity, Miller index, …) are stored in fixed-size two-dimensional arrays indexed by
|
||||
image number, with each image allocated room for up to a predefined maximum number of spots. These
|
||||
dense arrays are addressed with ordinary HDF5 hyperslab reads, so the spots of a single image are
|
||||
retrieved without traversing variable-length structures. The cost is some storage overhead for
|
||||
unused slots (padded with sentinels), which is acceptable for the access pattern.
|
||||
|
||||
We also evaluated the NeXus
|
||||
[NXreflections](https://manual.nexusformat.org/classes/base_classes/NXreflections.html) base class.
|
||||
NXreflections models a *dataset-wide* reflection table, which fits integrated rotation data well —
|
||||
and Jungfraujoch does use it for integration results (see §4.2 below).
|
||||
But for spot finding/indexing across hundreds of thousands of patterns a single table would force
|
||||
aggregation over the whole experiment before the spots of one image can be accessed efficiently.
|
||||
For these intermediate products a per-image representation is more suitable. We encourage the
|
||||
community to develop standardised NeXus application definitions for image-centric serial
|
||||
crystallography products that combine NeXus interoperability with the access patterns and scale of
|
||||
modern experiments.
|
||||
|
||||
## 2. File layout
|
||||
|
||||
A run is written as one **master file** plus, depending on the format, one or more **data files**:
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
<prefix>_master.h5 # NXmx master file (metadata + links / virtual datasets)
|
||||
<prefix>_data_000001.h5 # data file: images + per-image analysis
|
||||
<prefix>_data_000002.h5
|
||||
...
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
The master file is produced by `writer/HDF5NXmx.cpp`; data files by `writer/HDF5DataFile.cpp` and
|
||||
its plugins (`writer/HDF5DataFilePlugin*.cpp`). Files are written to a temporary `*.<random>.tmp`
|
||||
name and renamed on successful close.
|
||||
|
||||
Three master-file variants exist (set via `file_format`):
|
||||
|
||||
| Format | Value | Master ↔ data linking |
|
||||
|--------|:-----:|------------------------|
|
||||
| **NXmxLegacy** (default) | 1 | One external link in `/entry/data` per data file (`data_000001`, …). HDF5 1.8 compatible — works with Neggia/Durin XDS plugins and Albula 4.0. |
|
||||
| **NXmxVDS** | 2 | A single virtual dataset `/entry/data/data` spans all data files; spot finding, azimuthal integration and reflections are linked the same way. Requires HDF5 1.10 / Albula 4.1+. |
|
||||
| **NXmxIntegrated** | 3 | No separate data files — images and all metadata live in one file. Equivalent in content to the VDS format. |
|
||||
|
||||
In legacy/VDS mode, image-indexed analysis arrays live in the **data files** and are exposed in the
|
||||
master file through external links or virtual datasets; in integrated mode they are written
|
||||
directly into the single file. Throughout this document a "✓ in master" column marks entries that
|
||||
are visible (directly or via link/VDS) from the master file.
|
||||
|
||||
Images are stored chunked (one image per chunk) and compressed with bitshuffle + LZ4 or
|
||||
bitshuffle + Zstd; signed integer image datasets use `INTx_MIN` as the HDF5 fill value (the
|
||||
"masked / no-data" sentinel), unsigned use `UINTx_MAX`.
|
||||
|
||||
## 3. NXmx-standard content
|
||||
|
||||
The entries below are part of, or valid base classes for, the
|
||||
[NXmx](https://manual.nexusformat.org/classes/applications/NXmx.html) application definition.
|
||||
"NXmx" = listed in the application definition; "base" = a valid field of the relevant NeXus base
|
||||
class (`NXdetector`, `NXsample`, `NXsource`) but not in the NXmx required/recommended subset.
|
||||
|
||||
### `/entry` (NXentry)
|
||||
|
||||
| Field | Std | Notes |
|
||||
|-------|:---:|-------|
|
||||

|
||||
| `start_time` | NXmx | arming time |
|
||||
| `end_time`, `end_time_estimated` | NXmx | approximate end time |
|
||||
|
||||
File-level HDF5 attributes `file_name`, `file_time`, `HDF5_Version` are also set.
|
||||
|
||||
### `/entry/source` (NXsource), `/entry/instrument` (NXinstrument)
|
||||
|
||||
| Field | Std | Units |
|
||||

|
||||
| `total_flux` | NXmx | Hz |
|

|
||||
|

|
||||
| `distance` | NXmx | m |
|
||||
| `count_time`, `frame_time` | NXmx | s |
|
||||
| `sensor_thickness` | NXmx | m |
|
||||
| `sensor_material` | NXmx | |
|
||||

|
||||
| `bit_depth_readout` | NXmx | |
|
||||
| `saturation_value` | NXmx | |
|

|
||||
| `countrate_correction_applied` | NXmx | |
|
||||
| `number_of_cycles` | base | frame-summation factor |
|
||||
|
||||
### `/entry/instrument/detector/transformations` (NXtransformations)
|
||||
|
||||
The NXtransformations *mechanism* (the `depends_on` chain, `transformation_type`, `vector`,
|
||||
`offset` attributes) is standard. The axis **names** follow the PyFAI PONI convention chosen by
|
||||
Jungfraujoch (see [DETECTOR_GEOMETRY](DETECTOR_GEOMETRY.md)):
|
||||
|
||||
| Axis | Type | Units | Depends on |
|
||||
|------|------|-------|-----------|
|
||||
| `translation` | translation | m | `.` |
|
||||
| `rot1` | rotation | rad | `translation` |
|
||||
| `rot2` | rotation | rad | `rot1` |
|
||||
| `rot3` | rotation | rad | `rot2` |
|
||||
|
||||
### `/entry/instrument/detector/module` (NXdetector_module)
|
||||
|
||||
`data_origin`, `data_size`, `fast_pixel_direction`, `slow_pixel_direction`, `module_offset` — all
|
||||
NXmx (`fast/slow_pixel_direction` and `module_offset` carry transformation attributes).
|
||||
|
||||
### `/entry/sample` (NXsample)
|
||||
|
||||
| Field | Std | Units / notes |
|
||||
|-------|:---:|-------|
|
||||
| `name` | NXmx | |
|
||||
| `depends_on` | NXmx | points at the last goniometer / grid-scan axis, or `.` for stills |
|
||||
| `temperature` | NXmx | K |
|
||||
| `transformations/` (NXtransformations) | NXmx | rotation axis (e.g. `omega`) or grid-scan translation; hard-linked as `/entry/sample/goniometer` |
|
||||
| `unit_cell` | base | `[a, b, c, α, β, γ]` |
|
||||
| `ub_matrix` | base | `[1, 3, 3]`, Angstrom⁻¹ |
|
||||
|
||||
For a rotation scan the goniometer axis is written as a per-image angle array `<axis>` plus
|
||||
`<axis>_end`, scalar `<axis>_range_average`, `<axis>_range_total`, and for helical scans
|
||||
`<axis>_helical_x/_y/_z`. These extra goniometer datasets beyond the bare axis array are Jungfraujoch
|
||||
conveniences.
|
||||
|
||||
### `/entry/data` (NXdata)
|
||||
|
||||
`data` (3-D image stack, `[n_images, y, x]`) with `image_nr_low` / `image_nr_high` attributes.
|
||||
In legacy mode this group instead contains one external link `data_000001`, … per data file.
|
||||
|
||||
## 4. Extensions beyond NXmx
|
||||
|
||||
Everything in this section is **outside the NXmx standard**. Each group is declared with
|
||||
`NX_class = NXcollection` (the NeXus-sanctioned container for non-standardised content) unless noted.
|
||||
The per-image arrays are indexed by image number, padded to the run length and filled with a
|
||||
sentinel (`NaN` for floats, `-1`/`0` for integer indices) where a quantity is absent.
|
||||
|
||||
### 4.1 `/entry/MX` — spot finding and indexing (CXI-style)
|
||||
|
||||
The flagship extension. Spot ("peak") properties are stored as fixed-size `[n_images, max_spots]`
|
||||
arrays (CXI layout, recognised by CrystFEL); scalar-per-image quantities as `[n_images]` vectors.
|
||||
In legacy/VDS mode these live in the data files and are linked/virtual-stacked into the master.
|
||||
|
||||
**Per-spot arrays `[n_images, max_spots]`:**
|
||||
|
||||
| Dataset | Units | Meaning | Indexing only |

||||
3×3); `latticeIndexedExtra` `[n_images, max_extra_lattices, 9]` (Å) — additional orientation
|
||||
variants.
|

||||
```
|
||||
peak_list = /entry/MX
|
||||
peak_list_type = cxi
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### 4.2 `/entry/reflections` — integrated reflections (NXreflections)
|
||||
|
||||
Integrated reflections are stored **per image** as
|
||||
`/entry/reflections/image_NNNNNN` groups, each declared `NX_class = NXreflections`. The columns map
|
||||
mostly onto the standard
|
||||
[NXreflections](https://manual.nexusformat.org/classes/base_classes/NXreflections.html) base class:
|
||||
|

|
||||

|
||||

|
||||
| `image_scale_corr` | | **extension** | per-image scale correction; `I_true = image_scale_corr · int_sum` |
|

|
||||
In the master file these per-image groups are exposed through `/entry/reflections` external links

(VDS/integrated formats).
|

### 4.10 Non-standard fields inside the NXmx detector group
|
||||
|
||||
A few extension scalars are written *inside* the otherwise-standard `/entry/instrument/detector`
|
||||
group for compatibility with existing tooling:
|
||||
|
||||
| Field | Units | Meaning |
|
||||
|-------|-------|---------|
|
||||
| `detector_distance` | m | duplicate of `distance` (Dectris/Neggia compatibility) |
|
||||
| `detector_number` | | detector identifier (Dectris convention) |
|
||||
| `error_value` | | masked/error pixel sentinel (NXmx standard would be `underload_value`) |
|
||||
| `bit_depth_image` | | stored image bit depth (NXmx standard is `bit_depth_readout`) |
|
||||
| `acquisition_type` | | always `triggered` (Dectris convention) |
|
||||
| `jungfrau_conversion_applied` | | JUNGFRAU photon/keV conversion applied |
|
||||
| `jungfrau_conversion_factor` | eV | conversion factor |
|
||||
| `geometry_transformation_applied` | | module→full-detector geometry applied |
|
||||
|
||||
## 5. Notes
|
||||
|
||||
* **Units** are written as the HDF5 `units` attribute on the dataset (e.g. `m`, `eV`, `deg`,
|
||||
`Angstrom`, `Angstrom^-1`, `Angstrom^2`, `pixel`, `s`).
|
||||
* **Sentinels.** Missing per-image values are `NaN` (floats) or `-1`/`0` (integer indices); image
|
||||
pixels use `INTx_MIN` / `UINTx_MAX`.
|
||||
* **Master vs data file.** In legacy/VDS formats the analysis arrays physically live in the data
|
||||
files; the master file links to them (external links in legacy, virtual datasets in VDS). In the
|
||||
integrated format there are no data files and everything is in one place.
|
||||
* **CXI / CrystFEL.** `/entry/MX` follows the CXI peak-list convention; see
|
||||
[CXI file format](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/cxidb/CXI/master/cxi_file_format.pdf).

## HDF5 file structure
|
||||
Jungfraujoch aims to generate files compliant with NXmx format.
|
||||
|
||||
### Master file
|
||||
Jungfraujoch writes NXmx-compliant HDF5, with substantial derived metadata (spot finding, indexing,
|
||||
integration, azimuthal integration, per-image statistics and timing) stored *beyond* the NXmx
|
||||
standard. The complete file layout — master vs data files, the three format variants
|
||||
(`NXmxLegacy`, `NXmxVDS`, `NXmxIntegrated`), every NXmx field that is populated and every
|
||||
Jungfraujoch extension — is documented in [HDF5 / NeXus data format](HDF5.md).
|
||||
|
||||
There are custom extension to NXmx format. These will be documented in the future.
|
||||
|
||||
Specifically, if data collection was configured with `header_appendix` having key equal to `hdf5` and value as JSON
|
||||
object with number and string values. These will be added to `/entry/user`.
|
||||
|
||||
There are three versions of master file possible.
|
||||
|
||||
#### Legacy version (NXmxLegacy)
|
||||
By default, *legacy version* is used. This version is compatible with DECTRIS file writer version 1.0 format.
|
||||
This ensures the file compatibility of Neggia and Durin XDS plugins, as well as DECTRIS Albula viewer version 4.0.
|
||||
Distinct feature is that if images are split into data files, there will be multiple links in `/entry/data`,
|
||||
each corresponding to a data file.
|
||||
Yet, certain new HDF5 features, like virtual datasets, are not possible in this format since it has to be compatible with HDF5 1.8 features.
|
||||
|
||||
#### VDS format (NXmxVDS)
|
||||
Therefore, we have enabled format *VDS version*. This will link to all data files via a single virtual dataset `/entry/data/data`.
|
||||
The same way spot finding, azimuthal integration and others, will be linked between master and data files.
|
||||
This format allows to display processing results in currently developed Jungfraujoch Viewer.
|
||||
For the time being it only works with Durin XDS plugin, and require DECTRIS Albula viewer version 4.1+.
|
||||
|
||||
#### Integrated format (NXmxIntegrated)
|
||||
This is format, where no data files are created, but both images and metadata are stored in the same master file.
|
||||
This is generally equivalent to VDS format described above.
|
||||
|
||||
### Data file
|
||||
|
||||
Data file has the following structure:

||||

peak_list_type = cxi
