Survey and Alignment of SLAC's B Factory
Pietryka, Matthew J. .
The survey and alignment of SLAC's B-factory injector and high energy ring will be complete in March 1997. Modern digital electronic surveying tools are contributing to new, efficient alignment procedures. A laser tracker was used to fiducialize almost 300 quadrupole magnets. Digital levels were used to pre-set base plate elevations. Theodolites with very accurate co-axial distance meters are used for everything from layout to 3D magnet positioning to network surveys, all in free stationing mode... Show Full Abstract

Digital levels were used to pre-set base plate elevations.

A number of procedures and measurement results will be outlined. Show Partial Abstract
