11th International Workshop on Accelerator Alignment (IWAA2010)
The eleventh IWAA 2010 took place at DESY, Germany, from September, 13th to 17th.
This International Workshop on Accelerator Alignment follows the CERN Accelerator School (1986) and the ten dedicated IWAA workshops at SLAC (1989), DESY (1990), CERN (1993), KEK (1995), APS (1997), ESRF(1999), SPring-8(2002), CERN(2004), SLAC(2006) and KEK(2008). These workshops are devoted to the large scale metrology and high precision positioning of particle accelerators, reviewing and investigating all suitable advanced techniques capable of accuracies from 0.2 mm to a few micrometers over long or large dimensions.
Participants are mainly coming from laboratories, institutes, universities or companies relating to particle physics, synchrotron light, medical or industrial applications of accelerators - or are concerned with other scientific equipment as well.
People dealing with engineering survey and large scale metrology for industry or with the development and manufacturing of instruments here usually find many subjects of interest -- hence this conference is open to other professionals and scientists.
