aLIGO IAS LBSC2 Alignment Solutions

Document #:

LIGO-E1200556-v10

Document type:

E - Engineering documents

Abstract:

This notebook calculates/provides the positions and orientations of the IAS theodolite-total-station/autocolimator for initial alignment and positioning of the optical elements in the LBSC2 chamber. It also calculates the pitch angles of the LBSC2 optics relative to the local horizontal. The alignment solutions (angles, positions/distances) calculated in this notebook are inserted into the IAS LBSC2 alignment procedure. This document is not the LBSC2 alignment procedure, but provides notes and values used to create the procedure.

Notes and Changes:

Corrected the in-chamber alignment solution; The theodolite pitch angle was incorrect.
See E1200797-v6 for the Mathematica notebook used for this update.
