Description

The Mu2e experiment at Fermilab will be 10,000 times more sensitive than previous experiments looking for muon-to-electron conversion. This precise and complex apparatus will be able to produce 200 million billion muons per year. The Mu2e experiment layout in the MC-2 Building consists of four superconducting solenoid magnets: Production Solenoid (PS), Transport Solenoid Upstream (TSu), Transport Solenoid Downstream (TSd), and Detector Solenoid (DS). These solenoids will produce and transport the low-energy intense muon beam and then detect the conversion to electrons from stopped muons. Precise alignment of the four magnets is required to produce the continuous magnet field needed to direct the beam of Muons. This paper summarizes the survey and alignment of the Mu2e experiment solenoids using the Laser Tracker.
