Stability objectives for the CLIC Main Beam Quadrupoles (MBQ)

3992 CLIC MBQ should be stable at nanometre level.

There are four MBQ types with mass: ~ 100 to 400 kg and length: 500 to 2000 mm

The CLIC MBQ stability objectives are given in integrated RMS displacement at a certain frequency f as shown in the formula below. Φx is the power spectrum density displacement in the x direction.

The MBQ integrated RMS displacement should be smaller than 1.5 nm at 1 Hz in vertical direction and  5nm at 1 Hz in lateral direction)

The strategy selected is based on the use of high resolution and high precision piezo actuators. An additional study is the use of such actuators to position the MBQ magnets in between beam pulses with nanometre resolution. Vibrations are measured with inertial reference masses such as seismometers or geophones.
