  We present results obtained with the T-488 experiment at SLAC Endstation A (ESA). A material model of the ILC extraction-line design was assembled and installed in ESA. The module includes materials representing the mask, beamline calorimeter, and first extraction quadrupole, encompassing a stripline interaction-point feedback system beam position monitor (BPM). The SLAC high-energy electron beam was used to irradiate the module in order to mimic the electromagnetic (EM) backgrounds expected in the ILC interaction region. The impact upon the performance of the feedback BPM was measured, and compared with detailed simulations of its expected response.

International Linear Collider (ILC) is a proposed electron-positron accelerator requiring very small spot-size at the interaction point, and thus necessitates very tight tolerances on beamline elements. For static tuning of the machine a few methods like dispersion-free steering (DFS) or kick minimization (KM) techniques was proposed. The further suppression of emittance growth can be achieved by using close orbit emittance bumps. Stability of ILC is determined by the stability of the site, additional noises of beamline component, energy and kicker jitter and performance of the train-to-train and intra-train feedback. We discuss the performances of the Adaptive Alignment technique, which keeps accelerator dynamically aligned in presence of ground motion an technical noises. This presentation is an overview of two posters THPMN107 and THPMN108, presented at PAC07.
