MOPO023	Laser-based Alignment System at the KEKB Injector Linac	529

	A laser-based alignment system is under development at the 500-m-long KEKB injector linac. The original system was designed and constructed more than thirty-years ago, and thus, we are revisiting our alignment system because the previous alignment system has become too obsolete. The new alignment system is again strongly required for the next generation SuperKEKB project. The new laser alignment system is similar to the previous one, which comprises a helium-neon laser and quadrant photodetectors installed in vacuum light pipes. A girder displacement of the accelerating structure can be precisely measured in the direction of the laser-ray trace, where the laser light must stably propagate up to 500-m downstream without any orbital and beam-size fluctuation. We tested the laser-ray propagation and the stability along a 100-m-long beam line under a vacuum condition of 0.1-1 Torr. In this paper, we will report the system description and test results in detail.

	A new laser-based alignment system is under development in order to precisely align accelerator components along an ideal straight line at the 600-m-long KEKB injector linac. A well-known sequential three-point method with Fresnel lenses and a CCD camera is revisited in a preliminary design of the new alignment system. The new alignment system is strongly required in order to stably accelerate high-brightness electron and positron beams with high bunch charges and also to keep the beam stability with higher quality towards the Super B-factory at KEK. A new laser optics has been developed and the laser propagation characteristics has been systematically investigated at a 200-m-long straight section at atmospheric pressure. In this report, the preliminary experimental results are reported along with the basic design of the new laser-based alignment system.
