  • Massive Metrology: Development and Implementation of a 3D Reference Frame for the Realignment of Fermilab's Tevatron
    9th International Workshop on Accelerator Alignment, September 26-29, 2006 Massive Metrology: Development and Implementation of a 3D Reference Frame for the Realignment of Fermilab's Tevatron John A. Greenwood and George J. Wojcik Particle Physics Division: Alignment and Metrology Group Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory, Batavia, Illinois, USA The authors of this paper will discuss the project known as TeVnet. TeVnet is a combined horizontal and vertical survey network that was developed to provide spatial control for the three key machines of the Fermilab accelerator complex – Tevatron, Main Injector, and Anti-Proton source. This paper focuses on the survey network design, observation, and analysis, of an effort with the objective of increased performance and reliability of the accelerator complex by ensuring spatially correct placement of the beam-line components. 1. INTRODUCTION After a series of upgrades, the performance and reliability of the Tevatron, a 6.3-km circumference, (see Pictures 1 and Picture 2) one trillion electron-volt proton and antiproton accelerator, was well below expectations. It had long been suspected that the Murphy Line system, the current alignment method, was not capable of ensuring a reliable orbit at increased energy levels. The solution was the use of modern metrology methods and instrumentation for the alignment of the Tevatron. This paper introduces the concept of combining networks measured using different methods of surveying to develop the metrology for TeVnet, network design configuration alternatives, and observational procedures used to accomplish the network measurements, along with the simultaneous determination of the existing position of more than 1000 components of the Tevatron machine.

It took seven long years of planning, designing, estimating, calculating, budgeting, digging, razing, connecting, guiding, and finetuning to pull together the $260-million machine that will usher in a new era of particle physics at Fermilab. Needless to say, no one person took the project from dream to finish. Raising the Main Injector was the work of an army of Laboratory personnel Ñmanagers and technicians, secretaries and physicists, truckers and engineers. Space does not begin to allow us to name them all. Here are just a few. CIVIL CONSTRUCTION One was Dixon Bogert, associate head of the Beams Division, who oversaw the civil constructionÑthe excavation of the ground, the laying of the tunnel floor, the placement of one concrete block after another to create the two-mile tunnel for the Main Injector, the digging of cooling ponds, the building of a Photo by Reidar Hahn new substation, the creation of new service Dixon Bogert buildings. Working with Bogert were not only the contractors who handled the demolition and construction work but Fermilab workers who got their hands very dirty. More than 100 workers, for example, emptied out the magnets, pipes, cables, trays, buses, stands and radiofrequency modules from what is known as the F0 area of the old Main Ring so that the 638-foot tunnel space could be reconfigured to allow room for the new beamline from the Main Injector.
