| ==== Report for week of 9/24 ==== * Monday 9/24 was a holiday (Autumn Equinox). ===== SR2 ===== * We moved all the SR2 feedthrough and in-vacuum and in-air cables. * We tested all the OSEMs and most of the LVDTs. We still need to run power to the pico drivers, and test them and the steppers. * We unlocked and mostly realigned the suspension. The IM is sitting lower than before but can be brought up to nominal height with BF GAS offset, without any signs of anything touching. The IM also has a moderately large pitch (2.8 mrad according to the OSEMs, about 1 mrad according to the OL) and some roll, which we expect to be able to correct with some pico adjustment. The horizontal IM OSEMs are well-centered (so there is no yaw misalignment). |
==== Report for the week 5/20 ==== * Lucia helped Terrence to set * Last week Akutsu-san suggested to improve the air shield around the oplevs. * Terrence reported an unresponsive SR2 optic coil. We chekced and found the H3 coil cable disconnected. * Fabian measured the settings of the SR2 and BS LVDT drivers. See klogs [[http://klog.icrr.u-tokyo.ac.jp/osl/?r=8941|8941]] and [[http://klog.icrr.u-tokyo.ac.jp/osl/?r=8951|8951]]. * We helped with the corresponding measurement of one of PR2 LVDT drivers. See klog [[http://klog.icrr.u-tokyo.ac.jp/osl/?r=8952|8952]]. |

| ===== SRM ===== * We made another attempt to set the pitch of the SRM, but weren't satisfied with how close we were able to get (target 20 mm low, achieved 23 mm), so we didn't tighten the clamps or continue to setting the pitch of the RM. |
==== Report for Golden Week ==== * Mark monitored vent and pumpdown, and worked on vistools.py. |
| Line 16: | Line 15: |
| ==== Plan for week of 10/1 ==== * Mark, Hirata-san, Fabian, Panwei at Kamioka Mon-Fri. ===== SRM ===== * Set pitch of SRM and RM, tighten clamps, remove winch system. * Weigh IM/... section. * Build up SS to BF level. * Add BF. * Suspend IM and tweak height/balance. * Cable/test BF. * Install IRM. * Install/cable/test IM OSEMs. |
==== Report for the week of 5/6 ==== * Lucia and Terrence got the blending working for the IP LVDTs and geophones. * Terrence and Mark modified the models and MEDM screens to add a new IP block, IDAMP, for damping using the blended signal with inertial information, and a new DAMPMODE block for ramping smoothly between IDAMP and the old DAMP. * Mark worked on vistools.py, improving the support for cdsMuxMatrix blocks (e.g., OSEM2EUL) and adding support for cdsRampMuxMatrix blocks (e.g., the newly introduced DAMPMODE). He also created two sets of unit tests, unittest.py and unittest.sh, for the two modes of use (as a Python module in other Python programs, and as a command-line utility in bash). |

| ==== Plan for week of 10/8 ==== * Monday 10/8 is Sports Day. * Enzo returns Tuesday 10/9. * Mark and Terrence (plus TBD) at Kamioka Mon-Fri. * Enzo, Hirata-san, Fabian and Panwei at Kamioka Tue-Fri. ===== SR2/SR3 ===== * Terrence to set up LEN half of SR3 OL and, time permitting, TILT and LEN for SR2. ===== SRM ===== * Continue installation. |
==== Report for week of 5/13 ==== * Terrence measured Q's for nearly all modes on SR2 from TFs and then did some ring-down tests to get a better estimate of some high-Q modes. * Terrence and Mark looked at the velocity and angular velocity noise of the SR2 as reported by the LEN and TILT OLs. * The Y signal was fairly clean and the Y RMS angular velocity requirement was met. However the L signal was quite noisy, and was also contaminating the P signal due to the large cross terms in the diagonalization matrix. The RMS L from 5 Hz down with damping on was around 10 µm/s, which is 10 times the requirement. However little of this was due to pendulum resonances - most of the noise was featureless and broadband. In displacement units the noise was flat up to about 1 Hz and then smoothly rolled off to f^-2. The noise in the raw P and Y signals (not yet divided by the sum) was about 10 times the noise in the SUM. * We tried improving the noise with different whitening settings. Increasing the overall gain, increasing it at the QPD but reducing it at the whitening filter, and switching off the 1-10Hz boost whitening filter (and compensating software filter) had no effect. Blocking the beam reduced the noise by about 2 orders and brought the raw P and Y in line with the SUM, suggesting that the problem was before the QPD. Akutsu-san says the noise spectrum looks like it may be limited by air currents, and we probably need better wind shielding. * Mark swapped in an improved version of `vistools.py`, debugged a few small issues, and simplified the `TYPEB.py` Guardian. * Fabian embarked on a project to calculate the residual motion within KAGRA's observation band (beginning at 10 Hz) to make sure The Type B suspension fulfills the requirement, and calculate the speed of the optic to make sure we can acquire the lock. * He modified Takanori's Simulink/Matlab simulation in order to include the length sensing oplev and its control feedback path. * He imported Enzo's IM/GAS/IP-LVDT filters into the simulation. * He imported into the simulation the measured LVDT floor noise (sensitivities). * He calculated the IP-L, IP-T and IP-Y sensitivities. |
