Abstract :
Operational experience with model-driven steering in the linac of the Stanford Linear Collider (SLC) is discussed. Important issues include two-beam steering, sensitivity of algorithms to fault components, sources of disagreement with the model, and the effects of the finite resolution of beam position monitors. Methods developed to make the steering algorithms more robust in the presence of such complications are also presented
