ALICE
ALICE ALICE is one of the physics experiments at the LHC at CERN. The main goal of the ALICE collaboration is to characterize the physical properties of the Quark-Gluon Plasma (QGP), a state of matter created under the extreme conditions of temperature and energy density created in nuclear collisions. The ESA section is in charge

ATLAS
ATLAS ATLAS is a general-purpose particle physics experiment at the LHC at CERN. The ESA section is in charge of all survey and alignment for preparatory works during the design, prototyping, tests, assembly, positioning from early stage of the project and during the experiment life.

TSUNAMI
TSUNAMI Internal Software to help surveyor with the measurement acquisitions. This is one of the main software used to pilot survey instruments such as laser trackers and total stations, for data acquisition and survey in-field works i.e position measurement or adjustments.

SLB
SLB The Structured Laser Beam is a new paradigm in the creation of pseudo-non-diffractive optical beam. Its optical intensity profile in the transverse plane is similar to that of a Bessel beam. The SLB has a narrow central spot of high intensity surrounded by concentric circles. The SLB has been developed in a collaboration between
