EPURE Facility (standing for “Expériences de Physique Utilisant la Radiographie Éclair”, i.e Physics Experiment using Flash radiography), located in the CEA Valduc site, is a Franco-British joint experimentations facility. The key mission of the Facility is to x-ray dense in-motion objects
simultaneously with three radiographic axis. The radiographic images are thus captured over very short...

25. Overview of the Future Circular Collider at CERN from the survey and alignment perspective (WEO02)

The Future Circular Collider (FCC) represents CERN’s flagship future project. Following the Feasibility Study Report published in 2025 and the Reference Design Phase (RDP) concluding at the end of 2027, the project faces unprecedented engineering challenges. The proposed 91 km tunnel requires the high-precision alignment of approximately 23 000 magnets, pushing existing geodetic and...

26. Qualification of alignment systems: from theory to practice (WEO03)

Hélène Mainaud Durand (CERN)

Increasingly stringent alignment requirements in particle accelerators have led to the development of dedicated high-accuracy alignment systems. While qualification procedures exist for standard metrology instruments, no established methodology is available for the qualification of research and development alignment systems and their associated references. This paper presents a generic...
