The first phase of the BooNE (Booster Neutrino Experiment) program at Fermilab is called MiniBooNE. One of the primary goals is to test for neutrino mass via a search for neutrino oscillations. The MiniBooNE consists of a Neutrino Beam and a 40-foot (12.2-meter) diameter Detector. The detector is located 500 m from the neutrino beam line fed by the 8 GeV protons Booster. The Neutrino Beam consists of four sections: the Target, the Horn (focusing system), the decay region, and the beam absorber. This paper discusses the alignment methodology employed to survey the MiniBooNE Horn and Target.
