Survey and Alignment Reference Data Generation and Deviation Reporting

Abstract

The data used by survey group can be categorized into design data and measured data based on how it’s obtained. Design data is a simple term which refers to the ideal beam orbit which is given by physics group in the form of a series of coordinates in lattice frame. Comparatively, measured data is a complicated term which includes the fiducialization data of each component, girder integration data, girder profiling data and control network data etc. There are a lot of steps and techniques to make sure a precise and successful alignment. However, from pure data perspective, making up right reference data and reporting misalignment correctly are 2 keys of survey and alignment. The note will give an overview regarding how survey data will be generated and reported during key steps. More details should be checked in the referred documents or discussed specifically.
