The alignment challenge presented by the CLIC project require us to look closely at the gravity field and our ability to model the geoid and the influence of tidal and other non-periodic effects. This is of particular importance if we wish to use HLS in the alignment system, and may have a bearing on the use of other instruments too. To examine how the gravity field can directly affect an...

Planning large facilities like the European XFEL needs the help of various tools like request management systems (RMS), engineering data management systems (EDMS), CAD systems, project management systems and mostly for geodetic purposes also geographic information systems (GIS). Each of these systems gives another sight on the project. This paper shows how the European XFEL looks in a GIS and...

Understanding and communicating reliable measurement uncertainty is an important responsibility of advanced particle accelerator alignment. In many cases the measurement process uncertainty is difficult to control in accelerator alignment due to geometry constraints within the accelerator facility. Methods to characterize and communicate specific influences and dependences are key tools for...
