Description
Fermilab’s PIP-II project will result in a new beamline approximately 510 meters long. A geodetic control network will need to be established to precisely align the beamline components in the tunnel. This design focused on the tunnel network, as the surface network had already been considered. After selecting the geometry, instrumentation, and methodology, a pre-analysis was performed to estimate the global network uncertainties. Local errors were also estimated by considering alignment procedures and instrument noise. The global and local errors were then combined to estimate the total alignment uncertainty, which was compared against the project’s alignment accuracy requirements.
