The ILC requires an unprecedented accuracy and speed for the survey and alignment of its components. The Rapid Tunnel Reference Surveyor (RTRS) is a self-propelled train intended to automatically survey a reference network in the ILC tunnels with a design accuracy of 200 microns over distances of 600 m. A prototype RTRS has been built by the LiCAS collaboration. It will shortly commence operation at DESY. The operation principle of the RTRS will be explained. The status of the project's hardware, software and calibrations as well as the principles and performance of the underlying measurement techniques will be described.

We report on the design and initial testing of the 4th generation Feedback on Nanosecond Timescales (FONT) prototype intra-train beam-based feedback system for beam control and luminosity optimisation at the International Linear Collider (ILC). FONT4 comprises a fast-analogue front-end BPM signal processor, with an FPGA-based digital feedback processor and a fast-risetime kicker-driver amplifier. The system is being designed with a total latency budget (including signal propagation delays) of about 140ns. FONT4 will be deployed at the Accelerator Test Facility (ATF) at KEK, where it will be tested with the electron bunchtrain extracted from the ATF damping ring. The bunches will have a spacing of c. 150ns, chosen to match the ILC design. We report the results of initial beam tests of the system components. We aim to demonstrate feedback, with delay-loop operation, on this ILC-like bunchtrain.

We report on the design and testing of the 3rd generation Feedback On Nanosecond Timescales (FONT) prototype intra-train beam-based feedback system for beam control and luminosity optimisation at the International Linear Collider (ILC). The all-analogue FONT3 electronics was designed to have an ultra-short latency of c. 10ns. We describe the design of the BPM signal processor, feedback circuit and kicker-driver amplifier. We report on deployment of FONT3 at the Accelerator Test Facility (ATF) at KEK, where it was tested with the 56ns-long electron bunchtrain extracted from the ATF damping ring. Feedback, with delay-loop operation, on the beam was demonstrated with a latency close to design. We comment on the applicability of this technology to ILC, as well as future warm-RF based linear colliders, such as CLIC.

Smith-Purcell (SP) radiation has been used to investigate the longitudinal profile of a 45MeV, picosecond long bunched beam at the FELIX facility, FOM Institute. The three important optical elements that made this experiment possible were (i) high quality optical filters, (ii) nonimaging light concentrators, (iii) and a system to rapidly change between gratings.

Coherent Smith-Purcell (SP) radiation has been used to determine the longitudinal profile of the electron bunch at the FELIX facility, FOM Institute. Far-infrared radiation was detected using a simple, compact arrangement of 11 pyroelectric detectors. Background radiation was suppressed through the use of high quality optical filters, and an efficient light collection system. The measured bunch profile was most closely in agreement with 90% of the particles contained within 5.5ps, with an approximately triangular temporal profile.

The SLAC Linac can deliver to End Station A a high-energy test beam with similar beam parameters as for the International Linear Collider for bunch charge, bunch length and bunch energy spread. ESA beam tests run parasitically with PEP-II with single damped bunches at 10Hz, beam energy of 28.5 GeV and bunch charge of (1.5-2.0)·1010 electrons. A 5-day commissioning run was performed in January 2006, followed by a 2-week run in April. We describe the beamline configuration and beam setup for these runs, and give an overview of the tests being carried out. These tests include studies of collimator wakefields, prototype energy spectrometers, prototype beam position monitors for the ILC Linac, and characterization of beam-induced electro-magnetic interference along the ESA beamline.
