Abstract:

A new laser-wire (LW) system has been installed at the ATF extraction line at KEK, Tsukuba. The system aims at a micron-scale laser spot size and employs a mode-locked laser system. The purpose-built interaction chamber, light delivery optics, and lens systems are described, and the first results are presented.

Abstract:

The GridPP Collaboration is building a UK computing Grid for particle physics, as part of the international effort towards computing for the Large Hadron Collider. The project, funded by the UK Particle Physics and Astronomy Research Council (PPARC), began in September 2001 and completed its first phase 3 years later. GridPP is a collaboration of approximately 100 researchers in 19 UK university particle physics groups, the Council for the Central Laboratory of the Research Councils and CERN, reflecting the strategic importance of the project. In collaboration with other European and US efforts, the first phase of the project demonstrated the feasibility of developing, deploying and operating a Grid-based computing system to meet the UK needs of the Large Hadron Collider experiments. This note describes the work undertaken to achieve this goal. © 2006 IOP Publishing Ltd.

Stabilization of the ILC final focus using interferometers

EPAC 2006 - Contributions to the Proceedings (2006) 3000-3002

Authors:

D Urner, PA Coe, A Reichold

Abstract:

We are developing a system of interferometers to measure relative motion between two objects (for example, the two final focus quadrupoles of a linear collider) to a few nanometers. Two instruments are under development in the John Adams Institute at the University of Oxford : A distance meter to measure length changes and a straightness monitor to measure perpendicular shifts. We will present the technique, results and resolutions of our distance meter prototype. We also examine the applications of interferometers at the ILC.
