Summary: | Abstract
At CERN, each generation of particle accelerators led to the
implementation of new geodetic, survey and alignment methodologies
following the increasing accuracy requirements and the evolution of
survey instruments. The Future Circular Collider (FCC), representing
the next generation of particle accelerator, will in its turn
require new development to ensure the accomplishment of the
construction of the 91 km tunnel and the correct positioning of the
machine components. Mainly because of larger size of the machine but
also due to the design of its components, the existing geodetic
infrastructure has to be extended and upgraded. The accelerator
component alignment methodology currently used in not scalable, and
the Machine Detector Interface alignment procedure must be revised
including monitoring of the alignment. The article summarizes the
different aspects of the geodetic, survey and alignment challenges
that are currently investigated during the FCC feasibility studies. |
