Survey and Alignment II
- Davide Bianculli (ANL)
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...
The European Synchrotron Radiation Facility (ESRF) was established in 1988 as the world’s first 3rd generation light source. Alignment was critically important. The quadrupole and sextupole magnet alignment tolerances were 100 µm in both the horizontal and vertical directions perpendicular to the beam.
The vertical tolerance was achievable with high precision levelling, but in the late 1980’s...
