Description

The FCC-ee will be installed in a 91 km long tunnel at around 200 m underground. The size of the project, the tunnel configuration and stability, the number of components to align and the alignment tolerances raise unprecedented challenges. From the manufacturing of the components to the relative alignment of these components during technical shutdowns, all the alignment steps are impacted. This presentation will highlight the questions at stake for this alignment, covering the manufacturing control, fiducialization and assembly aspects, the first installation, the relative alignment, the maintenance of the alignment in the arcs, the LSSs and the MDIs. The proposed direction of research and ongoing studies are also mentioned.
