We have made measurements of the alignment of the LANSCE Drift Tube linac (DTL) and Side Coupled linac (SCL) using beam position measurements and analyzing them with linear models. In the DTL, we varied the injection steering, measured the beam position after each DTL tank, and analyzed the data with a linear model using R-matrices that were computed by the Trace-3D computer program. The analysis model allowed for tank-to-tank misalignments. The measurements were made similarly in the SCL, where the analysis model allowed for misalignments of each quadrupole doublet lens. We present here the analysis techniques, the resulting alignment measurements and comparisons to measurements made with optical instruments.
