GEM
GEM A Gas Electron Multiplier is a type of gaseous ionization detector used in nuclear and particle physics and radiation detection. GEM detectors represent a muon system in CMS. CMS GEM detectors are made of three layers, each of which is a 50 micron thick copper-cladded polyimide foil. The ESA section performed the fiducialisation of

Precision
Precision Closeness of agreement between indications or measured quantity values obtained by replicate measurements on the same or similar objects under specified conditions (VIM Vocabulary).
-
Resolution
Resolution Smallest change in a quantity being measured that causes a perceptible change in the corresponding indication (VIM Vocabulary)
-
Laser Tracker
Laser Tracker Laser trackers offer accurate 3D measurement to reflectors, while the addition of six-degrees of freedom (6DoF) functionality enables the use of handheld probes, laser scanners and machine control solutions. This is one of the main instrument used in field.

Total Station
Total Station A total station is an optical instrument commonly used in construction, surveying and civil engineering. It is useful for measuring horizontal angles, vertical angles and distance — it does this by analyzing the slope between itself and a specific point.

LHCb
LHCb The LHCb experiment is located at one of the four points around CERN’s LHC. LHCb set up is a physics experiment to explore what happened after the Big Bang that allowed matter to survive and build the Universe we inhabit today. The ESA section is in charge of all survey and alignment for preparatory

CMS
CMS The Compact Muon Solenoid detector sits at one of these four collision points of the LHC. It is a general-purpose detector; designed to observe any new physics phenomena that the LHC might reveal. The ESA section is in charge of all survey and alignment for preparatory works during the design, prototyping, tests, assembly, positioning
