Operational results on the fully automatic LHC collimator alignment

The Large Hadron Collider has a complex collimation system installed to protect its sensitive equipment from normal and abnormal beam losses. The collimators are set around the beam following a multistage transverse setting hierarchy. The insertion position of each collimator is established using be...
