| Abstract | The High Luminosity Large Hadron Collider (HL-LHC) project is an upgrade of the LHC to enable continuous operation at luminosities which are a factor of five above the LHC design value. To do so, nearly 1.2 km of accelerator components of the present LHC machine will be replaced applying new, innovative technologies. This includes a Full Remote Alignment System (FRAS) that will be implemented to monitor the position of components continuously and accurately and to perform remote adjustment. This paper will present the alignment solutions currently being finalized and their qualification plan. It will then review the alignment strategy, from the dismantling of old elements to the first years of operation of FRAS using the newly installed components. |
