| * Fujii-kun and Yamamoto-kun got the SR3 real time model running. * We received the SR3. * However Mark and Tanioka-kun found Hirose-san had applied the First Contact patterns on the wrong sides, so we took it to Yamamoto-san's lab and Toyama University and re-applied the FC properly. We also bounced a 1064 nm beam off it to verify that the HR and AR coatings were not also swapped (they were OK). * We made magnet-standoff assemblies for both SR3 and SRM, and set up for gluing the prisms and magnets. We will attach the prisms and magnet-standoffs on Monday. * Hirata-san did inventory of the SR3/SRM payload parts received last week and started on the inventory of screws. * Fujii-kun, Enzo and team finished the preparation, adjustment of the SFs and BFs. * They calibrated one SF and BF. (The remaining one SF and BF will take about another day. Also, the FR stops need to be checked.) * Enzo and Kozu-kun finished setting up the SR3 and SRM racks. (The SRM rack still lacks a front-end, and power and network connections, but the SR3 is now ready for testing.) * Shoda-san worked on getting quotes for the ballast masses, on design of the SRM metal mass, and on splitting the BS model to reduce the load on the front-end computer. |

Report for week of 5/7
- We inspected the wires and clamps involved in the wire break.
- The scars on the clamp on the tungsten wire that failed had very different depths, with the one that failed being much deeper, so probably the clamp piece was not completely straight before tensioning. However one wire on the other side was also badly crushed and on the point of failing, so the tension was clearly too much.
- We decided on new torque specs of 2 N.m for the primary clamps (down from 5 N.m) and 10 N.m (down from 20 N.m) for the secondary. The secondary clamp spec, for M6 screws, is now based on the LIGO policy of using the maximum suggested for the screw and the LIGO value for a coated 1/4-20 screw (100 in-lb = 11.3 N.m), and the primary clamp spec is derated by 2/3 from the spec for an M5 screw because the clamp pieces are recessed and only grip the wire at narrow sections along the edges, concentrating the force.
- None of the screws showed any signs of damage.
- All of the scars on the primary clamps were shallow enough that could reuse the clamp pieces. The tungsten secondary clamps were never tightened, and the outer pieces of piano wire secondary clamps were badly scarred but could be reused upside down.
- We successfully rehung the SR3 and RM. In the process we noticed and fixed an issue with the assembly frame (due to an out-of-date number in the Mirapro diagram, the IM crossbars were set 3 mm too high, which would have affected the wire length).
