Description
CLIC (Compact Linear Collider) is a next generation particle collider under study at CERN. The accelerator will operate beams of nanometric size (1 nm ×40 nm) and produce a high density of collisions at the interaction cross section (2x10)^34 hits/(m^2 s)). To guarantee this collision quality, the pre-alignment tolerance of the main components of the accelerator must lie within 10 μm. In addition, the quadrupole magnets must be extremely stable (1.5 nm rms at 1Hz). The beam further can be steered by displacing these quadrupole magnets in between beam pulses, with nanometric resolution. This critical process is the nano-positioning.
I will present the upgrades of the prototype that has been developed for the stabilization and nano-positioning of the magnet, and the results related to nano-positioning tests.
