| ==== Report for week of 10/8 ==== * This was Panwei's last week (for now at least) - thanks for all the help! * Thanks also to Terrence for visiting again for the week. ===== SR3 ===== * Terrence and Mark finished setting up the LEN half of the OL (Simon had roughly placed the components). They ran a new cable for LEN in the cable tray and relaid the cable for TILT to get it off the floor. * Terrence worked on diagonalizing the LEN OL. A report is forthcoming. ===== SRM ===== * Mark installed a pair of power supplies in the SRM and copied settings across to the SRM real-time model. * Fabian did lots of rack cabling, including installing and connecting BIO cards. * Mark and Hirata-san checked and adjusted the pitch of the BF (with a bubble level) and the IM/... section (with the OL. * Mark and Panwei installed the sides of the IRM and the IM OSEMs. * Hirata-san hung the dummy load from the F0 and started compressing the blade. There was a significant lateral offset (≈2-3 mm towards the blade at 5:30) at first but Takahashi-san advised that it would probably improve with compression, and it did. * Mark and Hirata-san cleared off most of two optical tables and a set of shelves in the OMMT area that Type B had been using but were now required by Somiya-san and Ohishi-san. We still need to remove the geophone and OSEM testing setups. |
==== Report for the week of 3/18 ==== * BS * Terrence notice that one of the IP LVDTs was not working. We traced it to an unplugged cable, plugged it back in and screwed it together to prevent a recurrence. * Simon helped us rebuild the damaged LEN OL QPD stage and Terrence reinstalled it. We removed a C-clamp that we had been using to immobilize the breadboard because it interfered with the QPD stage, and replaced it with a more elegant solution using a dog clamp underneath. * We noticed that the BS IP had fallen over in +L at some time shortly before Nakano-san aligned the optic on 3/18. Terrence tried to recenter it but it was unstable. We decided to remove the tank lid one more time and remove some arc weights. The IP frequency had been 39 mHz the last time it was measurable, and we increased it to a much-safer 80 mHz by removing 9 kg. We believe we were able to recover Nakano-san's alignment fairly closely. * Terrence then recalibrated and diagonalized both the TILT and LEN OL. * SR2 * Terrence recalibrated the OL. * SR3 * Mark pulled out unused cables leading into the SR3 cleanbooth. * SRM * Terrence set up the SRM Guardian. * Etc/All * Mark did an audit of the OL whitening/dewhitening system and fixed a bunch of problems: the SRM chassis was the wrong type, with no actual whitening card; SR2 and SRM needed whitening filters turned on; BS LEN needed the dewhitening turned on; SR2, SR3 and SRM needed dewhitening filters installed and turned on; SRM needed more gain. * Terrence weeded out a minor error from his OL diagonalization scheme and got L, T and Y independent at the 1% level for SR2 and SRM. He will do SR3 next. * Fabian measured the gain resistor values and other settings of the LVDT drivers, in case a card or chassis fails and we have to approximate the original state without the chance to recalibrate from scratch. * Fabian monitored the pumpdown. |

| ===== SR2 ===== * Mark, Enzo and Hirata-san all inspected the lower section of the SR2 to see if there were any interference points that might explain some unexpected peaks in the TFs that weren't present before installation. There were no stops touching, but some TM OSEM cables were rubbing against each other. [??? Did the fix work?] * We removed the tank lid, and Enzo and Panwei inspected the cabling that had been done during Enzo's vacation and installed some new cables that had arrived. They also unlocked the IP. |
==== Plan for week of 3/25 ==== * Mark, Fabian, Terrence at Kamioka Mon-Thu. * Assist with alignment. * Work on Type B paper. * Tidy up. * Throw out foil and other garbage. * Gather and clean tools. * Gather and organize unused parts and fasteners. * Return all unused cables to tent. * Tidy up cables in rear of SR2 rack. |

| ==== Plan for week of 10/15 ==== * Mark, Enzo, Hirata-san and Fabian at Kamioka Mon-Fri. ===== SR2 ===== * Continue shakedown. ===== SRM ===== * Align IRM with IM. * Suspend/weigh/balance the BF/... section. * Build up the AF and SS to the SF level. * Install the SF. ==== To-Do Lists, Schedule ==== * [[KAGRA/Subgroups/VIS/TypeB/ToDoBS]] * [[KAGRA/Subgroups/VIS/TypeB/ToDoSR]] * [[https://gwdoc.icrr.u-tokyo.ac.jp/cgi-bin/private/DocDB/ShowDocument?docid=7779|JGW-L1807779 Type B Schedule (SR)]] ==== Vacation/Visitor Info ==== * Terrence: 10/29-11/2 at Kamioka. |
==== Vacation/Travel Info ==== * Enzo's final vacation till 3/29. * Terrence's last day for now, 3/29. * Mark compensation day for 3/21: 3/29. * Type B going-away party for Terrence/Enzo, 3/29 in Tokyo. * Terrence's next visit from 4/18. * Fabian's vacation 4/26 to 5/10. * Mark's final day ≈6/28 (TBD). |

Report for the week of 3/18
- BS
- Terrence notice that one of the IP LVDTs was not working. We traced it to an unplugged cable, plugged it back in and screwed it together to prevent a recurrence.
- Simon helped us rebuild the damaged LEN OL QPD stage and Terrence reinstalled it. We removed a C-clamp that we had been using to immobilize the breadboard because it interfered with the QPD stage, and replaced it with a more elegant solution using a dog clamp underneath.
- We noticed that the BS IP had fallen over in +L at some time shortly before Nakano-san aligned the optic on 3/18. Terrence tried to recenter it but it was unstable. We decided to remove the tank lid one more time and remove some arc weights. The IP frequency had been 39 mHz the last time it was measurable, and we increased it to a much-safer 80 mHz by removing 9 kg. We believe we were able to recover Nakano-san's alignment fairly closely.
- Terrence then recalibrated and diagonalized both the TILT and LEN OL.
- SR2
- Terrence recalibrated the OL.
- SR3
- Mark pulled out unused cables leading into the SR3 cleanbooth.
- SRM
- Terrence set up the SRM Guardian.
- Etc/All
- Mark did an audit of the OL whitening/dewhitening system and fixed a bunch of problems: the SRM chassis was the wrong type, with no actual whitening card; SR2 and SRM needed whitening filters turned on; BS LEN needed the dewhitening turned on; SR2, SR3 and SRM needed dewhitening filters installed and turned on; SRM needed more gain.
- Terrence weeded out a minor error from his OL diagonalization scheme and got L, T and Y independent at the 1% level for SR2 and SRM. He will do SR3 next.
- Fabian measured the gain resistor values and other settings of the LVDT drivers, in case a card or chassis fails and we have to approximate the original state without the chance to recalibrate from scratch.
- Fabian monitored the pumpdown.
