The next generation of light source aims at delivering electron beams with unprecedented brightness and emittance properties. A crucial requirement in these projects is the accuracy in the alignment and positioning control of the magnetic elements on the girder and the girders in the tunnel. While many beam based tools have been developed and successfully tested, the requirement in the mechanical engineering and alignment of such elements is still a major concern and a technology challenge. Different solutions are adopted by different light sources.
The scope of the dedicated topical mini-workshop is to review the best practices in in the design, construction and alignment of girders and their elements, including aspects related the assembly procedures and logistics.
The key topics to be addressed are:
General:
Girders:
(design topology, static deformations, vibration, adjustment needs and tools).
Alignment
Girder alignment in tunnel
Magnet alignment on girders
The workshop is partly supported by the I-FAST project, WP7.2 on Enabling Technologies for Ultra-low Emittance Rings.
