  CERN is currently studying the feasibility of building a high energy e+ e linear collider: the CLIC (Compact LInear Collider). One of the engineering challenges is the pre-alignment precision and accuracy requirement on the alignment of the linac components. For example, the magnetic axis of a Drive Beam Quadrupole will need to be aligned within 20 um rms with respect to a straight reference line of alignment. The fiducialisation process which is the determination of the magnetic axis with respect to external alignment targets, that is part of this error budget, will have to be performed at an accuracy never reached before. This paper presents the strategy proposed for the fiducialisation of the Drive Beam quadrupole, based on a combination of CMM measurements, WPS measurements and Laser tracker measurements. The results obtained on a dedicated test bench will be described as well.

  Aligning accelerator components over 200m with 10 μm accuracy is a challenging task within the Compact Linear Collider (CLIC) study. A solution based on laser beam in vacuum as straight line reference is proposed. The positions of the accelerator’s components are measured with respect to the laser beam by sensors made of camera/shutter assemblies. To validate these sensors, laser pointing stability has to be studied over 200m. We perform experiments in air and in vacuum in order to know how laser pointing stability varies with the distance of propagation and with the environment. The experiments show that the standard deviations of the laser spot coordinates increase with the distance of propagation. They also show that the standard deviations are much smaller in vacuum (8 μm at 35m) than in air (2000 μm at 200m). Our experiment validates the concept of laser beam in vacuum with camera/shutter assembly for micrometric positioning over 35m. It also gives an estimation of the achievable precision.

  Since several years CERN is studying the feasibility of building a high energy e+ e linear collider: the CLIC (Compact LInear Collider). The pre-alignment precision and accuracy requirement for the transverse positions of the linac components is typically 14 micrometers over a sliding window of 200m. One of the challenges is precise adjustment of Drive Beam quadrupole’s magnetic axis. It has to be done with micrometric resolution along 5 DOF in a common support’s coordinate system. This paper describes the design and the study of a solution based on flexural components in a type of “Stewart Platform” configuration. The engineering approach, the lessons learned (“know how”), the issues of adjustment solution and the mechanical components behaviors are presented.

THPRI115 Measuring and Aligning Accelerator Components to the Nanometre Scale 4049

  First tests have shown that the precision and accuracy required for linear colliders and other future accelerators of 10 micrometers cannot be reached with a process based on independent fiducializations of single components. Indeed, the systematic and random errors at each step add up during the process with the final accuracy of each component center well above the target. A new EC-funded training network named PACMAN (a study on Particle Accelerator Components Metrology and Alignment to the Nanometer scale) will propose and develop an alternative solution integrating all the alignment steps and a large number of technologies at the same time and location, in order to gain the required precision and accuracy. The network composed of seven industrial partners and nine universities and research centers will be based at CERN where ten doctoral students will explore the technology limitations of metrology. They will develop new techniques to measure magnetic and microwave fields, optical and non-contact sensors and survey methods as well as high accuracy mechanics, nano-positioning and vibration sensors.
