Report of work (*:responsible person)
- VAC: *Kimura
- One of the small leak was found where it was, but another large leak seems to exist. Leak hunting will last today.
- There are 3 ways to the operation in the newt week;
Leak location will be found and fixed without vent. -> ETMX gate valve will open, no delay.
Leak location will be found and not fixed without vent. -> Vent on Wednesday and Thursday, fix leak on Friday, pump down on Friday. -> ETMX gate valve will open, delay for several days.
Leak location will not be found and not fixed. -> ETMX gate valve will not open, no delay, but it will be difficult to find beam at ETMX.
- ETMX: *Hasegawa
- TF for MM coupling of photo sensor was found.
- RMS motion seems to be OK if the mirror is not kicked. Even if the mirror is kicked, damping speed is ~10min or something.
- ETMY: *Nakano, Shishido
- Yaw dampins seems to be OK. Coupling between pitch and yaw exists. After ~10min or so, oscillation starts up to 10urad.
- IFO: *Enomoto, Izumi
- Trial lock of Michelson did not succeed because of too much motion of ETMY.
- BS: *Eleonora, Izumi
- We are optimizing diagonalization of L2P filter. Needs more time.
- DGS: *Yamamoto
- Interface card for PCIe on k1ioo was exchanged and connection between RTPC and IO chassis was established again.
