Status of the ITS Alignment Monitoring System First results By Bjørn S. Nilsen The Ohio State University
Outline • ITS and ITSAMS Geometry • Camera Sport measurements • Camera Calibration • ITSAMS raw measurements • ITS geometry effects?
Camera spot analysis • Camera exposure… set for best image. • 25 images taken in series • Image smoothing to remove intensity anomalies • Ring centers found for a series of intensity thresholds. • Remove clearly anomalies centers • Return Mean center and RMS. • Means & errors computed from all 25 images
Camera ResolutionPixels • Camera 0, RMSx=7.39±0.18, RMSy=7.48±0.18. • Camera 1, RMSx=1.91±0.04, RMSy=1.76±0.04. • Camera 3, RMSx=7.52±0.24, RMSy=5.96±0.19.
Calibration • Data taken from Test-bench setup • Image centers used old algorithm • Still some problems with test-bench setup
Image location • Data with L3 on in solid markers • Camera center at 0,0.
L3 Magnet Tests, Frontabsorber Movement In order to explain the vertical movement of the front absorber nose by 2.4mm, the top fixation point of the FASS would have to move by d=3.7mm. It seemed very improbable that the heavy magnet crown, that the FASS is attached to, is moving at all. 1/29/2008 W. Riegler TB Presentation 8
