Abstract

Particle accelerator survey and alignment is typically performed by classical geodesy instruments like theodolites, total stations, optical and electronic levels, or more modern, portable coordinate measurement machine (CMM) arms and laser trackers. The accuracy achievable is on the order of magnitude of hundreds of µm or fewer, depending on the scale, geometry, techniques, and methods used. All these instruments can collect low numbers of points in a limited volume.
