Description

This talk explores the mechanical engineering efforts behind the design and construction of the D-II accelerators, with a focus on the integration of precision mechanical systems, magnets and vacuum systems.
We will delve into the unique challenges posed by the D-II’s compact lattice design and high-brightness beam requirements, highlighting solutions developed for thermal management, alignment tolerances, and vibration isolation.
