PRECISE MEASUREMENT OF SUPERCONDUCTING CAVITY MOVEMENT IN CRYOMODULE BY THE POSITION MONITOR USING WHITE LIGHT INTERFEROMETER

Alignment of superconducting cavities is one of the important issues for linear collider and/or future light source like ERL and X-FEL. To measure the cavity displacement under cooling to liquid He temperature more precisely, we newly developed the position monitor by using white light interferometer. This monitor is based on the measurement of the interference of light between the measurement target and the reference point. It can measure the position from the outside of the cryomodule. We applied this monitor to the main linac cryomodule of Compact ERL (cERL) [1-3] and successfully measured the displacement during 2K cooling with the resolution of 10 m.
