Survey and Alignment I
- David Martin (ESRF)
This presentation will provide an overview of the SLAC Metrology organization, focusing on Alignment group activities. The presentation will also cover the instrumentation used for everyday work and projects we recently worked on such as the LCLS-HE undulator upgrade, the Rubin Observatory LSST Camera, and the Super CDMS project.
PETRA IV requires stringent alignment accuracies for close to 300 girders and over 3000 magnets, despite pervasive space constraints. This paper summarizes the alignment progress of the project's current prototype
(pre-project) phase, as well as future plans. Under development are two novel multipole magnet referencing concepts photogrammetric and laser tracker measurements. Each concept...
For stable operation of accelerators, high-precision alignment, positioning, and installation are crucial. Installing all equipment individually inside the tunnel poses safety risks as personnel may be exposed to enclosed and potentially radiative environments for extended periods. To address the challenges of long adjustment times and prolonged maintenance within the tunnel, most accelerator...
