Alignment sensitivities in the ilc damping rings

For the International Linear Collider to reach its design luminosity, the damping rings must achieve a vertical emittance that is a factor of two below that achieved in any operating storage ring so far. Magnet alignment, orbit control and coupling correction are therefore critical issues for the ILC damping rings. We present the results of studies of the sensitivity to quadrupole and sextupole alignment errors for a recent lattice design for the damping rings.
