  • Abstract
    A system for automatic beam steering has been developed and installed in the CLIC Test Facility - CTF3 linear accelerator at CERN. Using a simple beam position-reading minimisation for trajectory correction, this system has been tested in the 2004 summer run of CTF3. It has already been proven useful as a tool in machine commissioning and operation. In this paper, the CTF3 automatic steering system is introduced, trajectory correction results are presented, and the agreement with a simulation model of the machine is discussed.
