| ==== Report for week of 8/13 ==== * KAGRA was closed Mon/Tue 8/13-14 due to Obon. * Enzo and team investigated an issue with the height of the SR3 keystone coupling to yaw of the payload as measured by the OL. We suspect a ferromagnetic item on the SF damper, but we're not sure. |
==== Report for week of 1/14 ==== * Etc * Hirata-san ordered three 41 mm spanners for adjusting the jacks under the top of the tanks. * Mirapro installed bellows on the -Y side of BS and the +Y side of SR2. * Simon got us an LED, a 2D QPD stage and a second 300x400 mm breadboard, which should be enough to do the SRM TILT OL. He's working on a few more items needed for the LEN OL. * Terada-san and Uchiyama-san placed height markers on the SR tank frames showing the BS height and the desired SR heights allowing for 1/300 gradient: SR2 BS+17 mm, SR3 BS+56 mm, and SRM BS+70 mm. * Terrence and Mark reworked the Type B Guardian code to simplify future maintenance, so that the scripts `VIS_BS.py` etc are now tiny stub files which call common code in `TYPEB.py`. * Mark, Terrence and Enzo updated all the Type B models and MEDM screens to add support for binary output to the stepper driver enable inputs, and Enzo ran cables from the front ends to the BIO adapters, and thence to the drivers. We tested the SRM setup but it doesn't yet work. * BS * We installed the three new geophones originally prepared for SRM and then realized we'd made a serious mistake: the old wiring used adapters at both ends of the cable to compensate for the flipped preamps in the original geophones, and we forgot to take out the ones at the rack end. So two of the new ones appear to have been damaged and will have to be repaired. VIS has enough preamps to fix all the broken Type B geophones, but Type A will also need some more soon and there aren't enough in total, so we will have to repair them. * Hirata-san tried various things including turning the F0 FR carriage upside down to try to fix the jamming problem but it didn't seem to help. After advice from Takahashi-san and further debugging we discovered that we had a half-dead channel on the BS_GAS stepper driver, so we switched to a working channel, and that fixed things. * We recalibrated the F0 LVDT, this time measuring the height from the top down as we had been doing for the SRs. We also measured the range of the F0 FR in steps and millimeters and its effect on the keystone. * We tuned the IP for frequency and centered it in L, T and Y. * SRM * Hirata-san checked the F0 yaw stepper and it worked. * (CHECK!!) Hirata-san checked the channels on the SRM stepper drivers and found they all worked. However the F0 FR still didn't move, so he tried turning the carriage upside down, and that fixed it. So between the BS and SRM there were two independent causes of the same problem. * Fabian surveyed the height of the SRM relative to Terada-san's reference with the GAS filters at nominal height and found it was 3.5 mm low. This is well within the range of the jacks, so we will raise the entire suspension to fix it. * Fabian inspected the optic. It seems OK for dust, but there is still some residue left from removing the FC. We may try some more dabbing with acetone. * SR2 * Terrence and Enzo tested the third and last type of collimator (3500 mm) in the OL, but it had much too small a spot and dynamic range. We will standardize on 1.1 mm collimators for all OLs. * Fabian inspected the optic and found patterns that may be FC residue on both sides. * SR3 * Fabian and Ohishi-san tried using the Top Gun to remove dust found earlier by Hirose-san. The AR side came clean but the HR did not improve. Fabian wiped the security structure and LBB with Vectra10 wipes and ethanol. |

| ==== Report for week of 8/20 ==== ===== SR3 ===== * Hatoya-san and Enzo gathered date for a study of yaw mode Q damping time as a study of damper ring height. ===== SR2 ===== * We continued with cabling work. * We configured a second pico driver and connected it. * We assembled the LBB damper rings in the tank, craned them to near the top and hooked them. While the tank was open we also set to nominal height the jacks below the mushroom that will support the suspension. ===== SRM ===== * We reserved and configured two pico drivers. * We checked the prism gluing - all the jigs came away successfully. * Fabian assembled the RM. * Hirata-san added ballast masses to the IM and we weighed it, as well as the RM and the optic in the mirror box. * We suspended the optic and RM. ==== Report for week of 8/27 ==== ===== Arc weights ===== * We did an inventory of arc weights to see if we had enough for SRM. Including the weights on the pallet, some weights left over from the BS, and the weights already on SR3, we have enough for a basic allocation for all of type B (172 kg for BS and 103.2 kg per SR) but with only 5 kg spare for tuning. * We brought all the arc weights into the cleanrooms and divided them up for the SRs. * Hirata-san cleaned up 1 large arc weight and 3 mediums left over from the BS that got wet during the heavy rain. ===== SR3 ===== * Using SR3, we did a quick study of the IP frequency as a function of the number of arc weights, to see how much more we might need. 3 pairs of small arc weights (10 mm thick, 4.53 kg each) brought the frequency below 0.1 Hz, 4 pairs made it unstable. If SR3 is typical we would need about 27 kg extra per suspension. * After the IP study, we left three pairs of 10 mm arc weights installed on the IP and measured the frequencies with the digital system (instead of a stopwatch). Both L and T were around 0.08 Hz, which is good. * We unclamped the LBB damper rings, installed the rods down to the LBB and hooked the LBB. Mirapro then moved the SR2-SR3 duct to give more space at the SR2 end. ===== SR2 ===== * We finished routing the in-vacuum cables, and started connecting everything through to the rack for final testing. ===== SRM ===== * Panwei calibrated 6 OSEMs to be used on the IM. Two OSEMs have a long-term drift issue and may need repair. He took some long time series to characterize the drift. * We assembled and installed the bottom section of the security structure under the optic and RM. * We set up a new OL for setting the pitch. We found the reflection off the AR surface was much weaker than for SR2 and SR3, but fortunately the HR surface is almost flat (ROC≈300 m) and the reflection is weak but better so we were able to use the HR side instead. ==== Plan for week of 9/3 ==== * Mark, Fabian, Kozu-kun, Panwei at Kamioka Mon-Fri. * Enzo at Kamioka Mon-Thu. * Hirata-san at Kamioka Tue-Fri. * Major crane inspection Mon/Wed mornings using space where Type B work table is. SR2 craning will have to fit in around it. ===== SR2 (highest priority) ===== * Connect cables through to rack. * Check/tweak alignment of chain. * Add arc weights (103 kg) and geophones - check IP. * Go/no-go test of electronics. * Crane in SR2. ===== SRM (lower priority) ===== * Set pitch of SRM and RM, tighten clamps, remove winch system. ===== Etc ===== * Inspect all crane slots (SR, BS, PR) and check for missing bars and curtains. * Prepare for scheduled power outage on 9/10. ==== Plan for week of 9/10 ==== * Monday 9/10 is scheduled power outage. * Mark in US (job interview). * Hirata-san, Fabian, Kozu-kun, Panwei at Kamioka Tue-Fri. * Enzo at Kamioka Tue-Thu, then JPS Meeting Fri, then vacation. ===== Etc ===== * Recover from power outage. ===== SRM (highest priority) ===== * Weigh IM/... section. * Build up SS to BF level. * Add BF. * Suspend IM and tweak height/balance. ==== Plan for week of 9/17 ==== * Monday 9/17 is holiday (Respect for the Aged Day). * Enzo on vacation. * Mark, Hirata-san, Fabian, Panwei at Kamioka Tue-Fri. ===== SRM (highest priority) ===== * Cable/test BF. * Install IRM. * Install/cable/test IM OSEMs. ===== SR2 (lower priority) ===== * Move SR2 in-air cables. * Remove First Contact. * Unlock and realign suspension. ==== Plan for week of 9/24 ==== * Monday 9/24 is holiday (Autumn Equinox). * Mark, Hirata-san, Fabian, Panwei at Kamioka Tue-Fri. |
