20. In the CTF2 facility, the components (CAS, PETS) were maintained aligned in a closed loop w.r.t. a stretched wire within a window of ± 5 microns, thanks to sensors and micro movers, in a very radioactive environment. Sensors and actuators were used for monitoring w.r.t a reference position and repositioning, not for pre-alignment The pre-alignment in that case was manual and iterative (no fiducialisation : the position of the WPS was not known w.r.t the reference axis of the accelerating cavities) Small scale solution to align the accelerating cavities on the girders Mechanical design to update (modification of the size of the components  considerable increase of load  some question marks concerning the clearances and kinematics) A solution of fiducialisation within a few microns must be found A new solution of pre-alignment for the MB quad must be found (CTF2 solution not compatible with stabilization requirements) BUT… Required solutions: lessons from CTF2
