Description
Following on from the International Workshop on Accelerator Alignment IWAA 2022, an alignment seminar was organized at the ESRF in June 2023. Four European laboratories: CERN, ALBA, SOLEIL and ESRF participated in this event. It was a very successful one-day event, divided into 7 sessions of 1h each dedicated to specific topics of mutual interest. These topics included: application of uncertainty, programs and applications, alignment techniques, permanent monitoring system, the use of external company support and approaches to adjustment and least squares calculations. Each topic was followed by a roundtable discussion.
Despite the success of the seminar, it was clear we had only scratched the surface of common topics for discussion. Furthermore, it was obvious that participation from other European labs would make such an event even more interesting. A second alignment seminar was therefore organized in April 2024, this time over two days at CERN, with representatives from 5 additional laboratories: DESY, MAXIV, GSI, DIAMOND and GANIL.
This presentation will detail the context and content of these seminars and present their outcomes and a summary of actions."
