Since 2022, survey and alignment experts from European laboratories have met annually at the EUropean Workshop on Accelerator Alignment (EUWAA). The workshop provides a forum for building a coordinated European approach to accelerator, detector and beamline alignment. It aims to foster exchange on common challenges, best practises, future tends and to strengthen cooperation between labs....

The Einstein Telescope (ET) is a proposed third-generation gravitational-wave observatory requiring an ultra-high vacuum infrastructure of approximately 120 km with stringent alignment tolerances. To validate key engineering and installation procedures, the Einstein Telescope pilot has been constructed at CERN as a reduced-scale demonstrator using full-size representative vacuum components...

The FCC-ee, a future 91 km circumference lepton collider planned for operation in the coming decades, requires the relative alignment of neighbouring accelerator components to be maintained better than 0.15 mm. The installation of the components in the FCC-ee arcs therefore requires a geometrical network throughout the entire tunnel to enable both the initial positioning and the precise...
