Conséquences des perturbations de la gravité sur l'alignement du CLIC

For the CLIC alignment, the accuracy required for the definition of the geometrical references entails the evaluation of the effects of the Earth's gravity field's disturbances. The distortions of the WPS wires, of the water in the hydrostatic levelling network and of the ground resulting from the Moon and the Sun's attractions and from the neighbouring masses are therefore estimated. Solutions are suggested for the distortions important enough to have to be taken into account.
