Abstract

The accelerating structure of the Stanford Linear Collider (SLC) is required to be aligned to 100-200 mu m RMS. Alignment at such a level will reduce transverse wakefield effects sufficiently so that only a small emittance enlargement of the beam is expected during acceleration to 50 GeV with up to 7*10/sup 10/ particles per bunch. The authors describe many aspects of the alignment including global alignment, local alignment, construction of the accelerating cavities, active controls of the structure alignment, external constraints, temperature and airflow effects, and alignment stability.<>
