Minutes

• Actuators for cryopayload
  • Asked Miyamoto to go for bigger magnets for Marionette
  • Asked Miyamoto to measure actuator transfer functions (efficiency) at cryogenic temperature using KEK prototype

  • Velocity requirement for BS and SRM from lock acquisition is 1.4 um/sec and 0.38 um/sec, respectively (JGW-G1706333)

    • TAMA BS prototype experiment and Kamioka seismic measurement indicates 0.2 um/sec (Kamioka high seismic) for Type-Bs [Aso]

      • -> meets requirement

• RF Doubler requirement
  • Agreed for the following specs
    • 16.88 ± 1 MHz (input), 45.02 ± 1 MHz (input)
    • Phase noise floor -170 dBc/Hz (100 Hz offset)

    • Harmonics < -60 dBc; Sub-Harmonics < -60 dBc

  • if phase noise floor requirement is too tough/expensive, we will ease the requirement
• Connector for RF PD/RF QPD
  • KAGRA cables are different from aLIGO ones and has bigger shell

  • similar issue is there for flanges on vacuum chambers [Michimura -> Miyakawa]

  • AEL is making short D-sub cables with smaller shell
  • cables with smaller shells of 1-2 m length might be better considering future implementation of patch panels for optical tables

      • keep in touch with AEL group

    • local oscillator phase noise (calculation method)

      • discuss with Aso and redo calculation

• Requirement on actuator range for IMMT [Ohishi]

  • magnet size: 2 mm dia, 5 mm long
  • coil turns: 39?
  • this gives 4 times larger efficiency than the IMC coil efficiency
  • IMMT resonant frequencies: pitch ~1.8 Hz, yaw ~1.5 Hz

  • this gives 50/sqrt(2) mm * (1.4e-3 N/A * 4) * 4 magnets * 1/80 A/V / 9.6e-4 kg*m²　 / (2*pi*1.8 Hz)² = 8e-5 rad/V efficiency in pitch

  • is this enough?
    • IMC mirror (Type-C + stack) drift in yaw was less than 1 mrad/month, pitch was much less [Nakano]
    • iKAGRA ETM (Type-C w/o stack) drift was ???
• RF generation scheme [Michimura]
  • f1 = 3/8*f2, f3 = 10/8*f2
  • we need 2*f1, 2*f2, f3-f1, f3-f2 as well
  • use harmonics generator (x2, x3, x6, x8, x10, x16 for f2/8 = 5.62698725 MHz (FSR for IMC))
    • seeking for vendors

  • MIF and IOO agreed to use 13.78 MHz　(~= f2/8*2.45) for IMC sideband (JGW-T1605493)

  • MIF agreed to use 32 MHz and 33 MHz for ALS sidebands JGW-T1605626

  • may be IMC sideband (and ALS sidebands) should also needs to be phase locked with f1/f2/f3 to avoid "whistling noise"

  • in case of KAGRA, we don't need Frequency Doubler or Frequency Divide By Two for ALS

    • is this true?
• bKAGRA optical layout around PRC
  • POY clipping issue will be solved by modifying PR3 optical bench suspension [Shoda]
  • we need layout CAD for POY pickoff mirror, POP pickoff mirror to design baffles

• viewport quality for GV between SRM and OMMT [Akutsu]
  • aLIGO case: SRM-OFI-viewport, KAGRA case: SRM-viewport-OMMT-OFI
  • aLIGO viewport is always closed

  • if we need super quality viewport, we have to decide soon

• BS baffle could make contract defect? (LIGO-T1000090)

  • ask Akutsu and Hiro
  • BS has 370 mm dia and beam at BS is 2*36 mm dia. So, it should be in principle OK. But recoil mass aperture should be considered.
