Cryogenic System Integration Meeting 2014 FY

Management & Schedule (Suzuki)
- iKAGRA vacuum chamber installation
- Installation (Kimura, Kume, Tomaru, Suzuki)
Measurement: We put base-plats for Corner Cube Reflector (CCR) of measurement tools (LaserTracker/TotalStation) in EYA area in last week since it will be covered by chambers in next week. Due to trouble of LT, we used TS in this measurement. The accuracy of the base position should be around 0.5mm. We could put base-plates on EAY room and duct-shield tunnel, but could not put them around EYC room. And We could not measure hight level of the bases. We need more measurements in EYC, of cause EXC,FYC and FXC, too.

- 9/1-3: Measurement at Y-end by Kume, Tomaru, Suzuki.
- Installation (Kimura, Kume, Tomaru, Suzuki)
- First cryostat installation to Y-end was successfully done.: Suzuki, Kimua, Tomaru
- Measurement and alignment: We found that base-pin for measurement put by Kajima Co.was at center of cryostat position and we can not see it after cryostat installation. This means that we have to copy the base pin coordinate to other places; on floor and on wall.
- We plan to have measurement to copy base-pin coordinate on floor and wall from the Gate-valve room to Y-cryostat room.
Our measurement plan: 140826測量基準.pdf (Tomaru)

CuBe vertical spring test by 1/4 cryostat was prepared in last week. We could not get signal by Ono-Sokki laser interferometer, but could have signal by Keyence laser-displacement sensor. However, the measurement was success only with over 5mm excitation. That is, we need exciter. The introduction of the exciter is not so easy.
- Measured resonant frequencies @300K: Pendulum mode = 0.9Hz, Vertical mode = 2.3Hz.
- I found that it is difficult to have effective operation of this cryostat in Kashiwa. I decided that we move the 1/4 cryostat to KEK and continue the experiment there.
Small CuBe blade test is planed in KEK and it is under fabrication.

- Moving Mass (Chen, Tomaru):
- Recoil mass
- Sapphire Mirror (Hirose)
- Sapphire Mirror Suspension (Chen, Sascha, Yamamoto)
- Quotation for round polish was asked and we wait reply. We have quotation of flat cut.
- Test
Status of R&D (K. Yamamoto)
In the last cryo payload meeting, we picked up R&D items behind schedule Minutes(K. Yamamoto).
- What is the first priority ? What kinds of information are necessary for design ?
- Vertical metal spring : Temperature dependence of Young's modulus and resonant frequency. According to schedule, by the end of March, one blade spring cryogenic test and triple blades procurement are finished.But actually, not yet. Triple blades must be prepared soon.
- Heat links : Measurement of thermal resistance at end of heat link. The result affect the number of heat links. Layout (geometry must be symmetric).
- Control : Test for stepping motor and thrust bearing. Active damping system. Coil magnet actuator. Sizes of these systems are necessary for design (how accurate ?).
- Baffle and Auxiliary Optics Subsystem (Akutsu)
2014.04.07
Management & Schedule (Suzuki)
- First kick-off meeting with MESCO for cryostat installation at Apr. 10 at Kamioka. We will discuss about installation schedule of the end cryostats.
- Installation (Tomaru, Suzuki)
- Mirror Cryostat (Sakakibara, Kimura)
- Duct Shield (Sakakibara, Kimura)
- We will release a specification document of duct shield in this week. Three duct shield will be fabricated in this FY.
- Cryocoolers (Tomaru, Suzuki)
- We will release a specification document of first three low-vibration cryocoolers for the duct shields in this week. Now we discuss about the cost of one-stage pulse-tube cryocoolers with the cryocooler company since they are under considering the price down of the PTC. If the price is acceptable, we will not chose solvey cryocoolers but chose PTCs.
- Room temperature SAS (Sekiguchi, Takahashi)
- Cryo-Payload
- Heat link (Sakakibara)
- Design (PF, IM, IMR) (Hirose, Sekiguchi, Rahul, Takahashi)
- A remote meeting was held on March 28th.
- HPD gave us a quote for moving mass for PF and IM, and torsion adjustment
- We gave them links to room-temperature VIS. They are looking into them to figure out an estimate for preparing necessary drawings for the modification.
- We ordered sapphire parts for the cradle configuration to Shinkosha.
- We would like to propose for an ear configuration (will explain it today). I asked a quotation about the ear to Shinkosha.
- Rahul is preparing models for ANSYS.
- Takanori is looking into control issues (sensors and actuators)
- Takahashi-san started a cryogenic bade test
- Need to prepare a solid test plan for the system (installation, strength, heat conductivity, controllability, and so on)
Fabrication (PF, IM, IMR) (Tomaru): Suzuki-san and I had meeting with Mitaka-koki Co. for Cryo-pendulum fabrication. They have interesting in our cryo-payload fabrication and accepted the style that they fabricate the payload with R&D with us.
- Moving Mass (Chen, Tomaru): I got stepping motor which can work at cryogenic temperature but it didn't have driver. Can we get it?
- Recoil mass
- Sapphire Mirror (Hirose)
- Contracts for FY2014 are in preparation.
- Sapphire Mirror Suspension (Chen, Sascha, Yamamoto) Yesterday, we discussed the strategy. Fiber nail head is hooked by blade spring which is similar to that from Shinkosha. For comparison, we must collect quotations for flat cut or round polish.
- Test
- Baffle and Auxiliary Optics Subsystem (Akutsu)
- Location of a wide-angle baffle should be discussed.
- Interface parts between a wide-angle baffle and a cryo-duct shield should be discussed.
- Non-arm side, i.e. btwn BS-ITM, we need to consider the way to control stray light; as a reference, there are no baffles are installed closed to the ITM side in LIGO so far, but around BS, there is a baffle.
- The recoil mass of the ITMs/ETMs should have also a function of baffle. Let's consider about it.
