Abstract:
The LiCAS project has developed a prototype robotic survey system for rapid and highly accurate surveying of long linear accelerator tunnel networks. It is aimed at the International Linear Collider (ILC). This Rapid Tunnel Reference Surveyor (RTRS) is an R&D instrument for evaluating the performance of the RTRS concept and its survey technology. The prototype has been commissioned in a test tunnel at DESY with initial calibrations and measurements ongoing. We will report recent results where they improve over previously reported work.The MICE diffuser system

Abstract:
The Muon Ionization Cooling Experiment (MICE) [1] at the Rutherford Appleton Laboratory [2] will measure the performance of a cooling channel in a variety of configurations of momentum and initial emittance. Coverage in emittance-momentum space relies on the MICE diffuser, a system with five different thickness lead degraders, remotely operated in a high magnetic field. Degrader optimisation for beam matching and technical issues are discussed.The optical alignment system of the ZEUS microvertex detector
