Survey and alignment of the Fermilab Booster Accelerator

Conference ·
OSTI ID:900357
The Fermilab Booster is a fast-cycling synchrotron which accelerates protons from 400 MeV to 8 GeV of kinetic energy for injection into the Main Injector and for use by all of the Lab's physics programs. The Booster was originally built in 1970. In 2004, as part of the Booster upgrade, a decision was made to upgrade the Booster survey network by densification with monuments and to survey the main Booster components using modern survey and alignment instruments. This paper discusses the survey and alignment methodology employed for the Booster Accelerator upgrade.
