Survey & Alignment Aspects of Large Linear Research Structures
Paper
In Sep 2015, the Laser Interferometer Gravitational-wave Observatory (LIGO) initiated the era of gravitational wave astronomy with the first direct detection of gravitational waves (ripples in the fabric of space-time), resulting from the merger of a pair of black holes. In Aug 2017 the U.S.-based LIGO, the Europe-based Virgo, and some 70 ground- and space-based observatories jointly made the...

Survey & Alignment Aspects of Large Linear Research Structures
The LCLS-II (Linac Coherent Light Source II) project is an upgrade to the world’s first hard X-ray free-electron laser moving from 120 pulses per second to 1 million pulses per second. The LCLSII project includes a new 700 m long superconducting Linac, 3 km of beam transport lines, a new beam switch area to switch between the superconducting beam source and the Cu beam source, 2 new undulators...
