Laser scanners

A sweeping laser system that can Digitize an entire area quicklyCould scan the tunnel and then Generate a drawing with everythingincluded

ILC

• Reports on alignment of ILC type superconducting cavities

• Stretched wire work• Precision motion stages 4mm range

nanometer accuracy• Working groups for ILC alignment issues

were formed• Oxford and DESY are working on an

alignment train for ILC

Alignment working groups

• Gathering & tracking alignment requirements• Fiducialization, Prototyping & Mechanical

supports• Geodesy• Alignment Techniques• Integration• Information Systems• Ground motion and stabilization

HLS Water Levels

• I reported on MINOS and Aurora mine water level data

• Many light sources use water levels to set alignment of their machines

• A Medvedko from Budker reported on ultra sonic water levels

Minos Data for Jan 06

Aurora Mine data May 06

Other Accelerators

• There are 50 light sources in operation, construction or planning

• Energy range 2.5 to 3.5 Gev with x rays 10 to 100 Kev

• NIST has a calibration standard for laser trackers and offers a calibration service

Next Conference will be in the fall of 2008 in Japan
