Vertical vibration of linac components (accelerating structures, girders and
quadrupoles) in the NLC has been studied experimentally and analytically.
Effects such as structural resonances and vibration caused by cooling water
both in accelerating structures and quadrupoles have been considered.
Experimental data has been compared with analytical predictions and simulations
using ANSYS. A design, incorporating the proper decoupling of structure
vibrations from the linac quadrupoles, is being pursued.Comment: 6 Pages 13 Figures Presented at The Nanobeam 2002 Workshop (Lausanne
