Description
Following previous IWAA presentations regarding progress on FAIR, this report outlines the status for 2025 and 2026. The campaigns over the last two years have included network measurements and their analysis, blue-lining in various machine areas, selective alignments to more complex structures in extremely hard-to-reach areas such as the Super-FRS, and the survey of parts of the machine that have already been erected. The complex structure and layout of the FAIR buildings, as well as the ongoing construction work during the installation of the machine, are reflected in the repeated network measurements and complex network analyses, which reveal ongoing settlement and other movements. This led to adjustments to the IOL (ion-optical layout) and had a direct impact on individual machine sections. Major challenges for the future include the transfer of various machine strings integrated into a large frame, the installation of the magnets on the 15° and 7.5° high energy beam transport ramps, and the installation of various sections of the Super-FRS, particularly using the FiBS system developed by the Survey & Alignment team.
