Survey and Alignment of Synchrotron Ring for Wuwei Heavy Ion Medical Machine

Wuwei Heavy ion medical machine (HIMM) is the most compact accelerator facility for heavy ion therapy in the world,which has a circumference about 56.1 m.The alignment accuracy of many components of the machine should be submillimeter level.For example,the positioning accuracy of quadrupoles should be within 0.1 mm according to design target.With the combination of laser tracker and surveying knowledge,we develop a method that adjusts and collimates elements under the elements themselves coordinates via three-dimensional control network and the transformation of multiple coordinates to improve the efficiency of installation alignment.By this way,the deviation of each direction from all elements is under 0.1 mm and the result is better than the design target,which leads to the successful commission of Wuwei HIMM.Consequently,the feasibility of this method developed is verified.
