==== Report for week of 10/15 ==== ===== SRM ===== * We received the fourth feedthrough we had been waiting for and installed it on the AF. * Fabian added the cables between the FE computer and the ADC/DAC boxes, and we checked that we were getting IO in the real-time model. * Fabian and Enzo connected up the Sat Amps. * Fabian double-checked the optic pitch, got the IRM nicely aligned to the IM, cabled IM OSEMs V1, V2, V3 and H1, and adjusted those OSEMs in/out to midrange. * Hirata-san set the compression on the F0 to 30 mm and measured the height and frequency as a function of load. He then fixed a loose screw on one of the blade tips and repeated the measurement. The frequency was fairly constant at around 0.5, which will do. He did a mass budget and chose a F1 CuBe spring. We may do a tiny bit more compression if the frequency degrades, and/or choose an even stronger spring if the load capacity is not enough. * Hirata-san took apart and reassembled one of the LBB blade units, which had a badly seated blade. * Hirata-san put cable clamps on the SF and on the PI. We are very short on the PEEK clamp pieces, so he scavenged some from SR2. * We added a new LAN hub for SRM, and configured two stepper drivers as SRM_IP and SRM_GAS. * Late in the week we received extra Type 3-4 cables (thanks to Sato-san for expediting) and were able to cable IM OSEMs H2 and H3, and the BF LVDT. * Enzo made a new batch of feedthrough adapters. ===== SR2 ===== * We finalized the geophone cabling and reinstalled the geophones. * We received the new arc weights, and used some of them to install a basic allotment of 6 38-mm weights on SR3 per the CAD. We then added two extra 19-mm arc weights for tuning and got a good IP frequency of 0.133 Hz. * Apart from the F0 yaw stepper issue and the OL, the SR2 is now more-or-less complete and adjusted mechanically, and just needs software work (control loops etc). We will however have to borrow one of the geophones at some point to do a huddle test with the final batch of new geophones (including those for SRM). Terrence can set up the OL in the week of 10/29. ==== Plan for week of 10/22 ==== * Friday is NAOJ Open Day Prep - no Kamioka work. * Mark, Hirata-san and Fabian at Kamioka Mon-Thu. * Enzo at Kamioka Tue-Thu. ===== SR2 ===== * Do a measurement of how much torque is required on the F0 keystone to move the system in yaw. (This will help Sato-san choose a suitable stepper driver for the new design.) * Continue shakedown. * Gather parts for the OL (with help from Simon). ===== SRM ===== * Scavenge HPCDs from SR2 and SR3 (currently we only have one for SRM) and organize to get LPCDs modified. * Suspend/weigh/balance the BF/... section. * Build up the AF and SS to the SF level. * Install the SF. ==== Plan for week of 10/29 ==== * Mark, Enzo, Hirata-san, Fabian and Terrence at Kamioka Mon-Fri. ===== SR2 ===== * Set up OL. ===== SRM ===== * Continue assembly. ==== 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)]] |
==== Report for the week 5/20 ==== * The highlight of the week is Terrence's measurement of the residual motion of the SR2 optic: it does fulfill the rms displacement and velocity requirements for lock acquisition and observation phases. See the report at klog entry [[http://klog.icrr.u-tokyo.ac.jp/osl/?r=8949|8949]]. * The integrated RMS was calculated from 5 Hz to DC because there are some peaks between 8 Hz and 10 Hz and whose origin stil have to be clarified. See the report at entries [[http://klog.icrr.u-tokyo.ac.jp/osl/?r=8918|8918]] and [[http://klog.icrr.u-tokyo.ac.jp/osl/?r=8933|8933]]. * After Akutsu-san's suggestion Terrence improved the air shield in two rounds, including a cylindrical cover around the viewport. This reduced the noise by about a factor of 10. * He realized setting up the shield may have slightly changed something in the oplev and carried out another round of diagonalization. * By exciting the pringle mode he balanced the optic coils, measured TFs and tuned the damping filters. * The optic residual motion in L, P and Y showed a large peaks close to 0.2 Hz, which is where the micro-seismic may become apparent. This suggested the inertial damping system is not working in a suitable way. As a temporary measure he modified the filters and reduced the gain. * Lucia helped Terrence in starting the diagonalization of the SR2 geophones and provided belding filters that Terrence will optimize. (The blending frequency is 0.190 Hz for L,T and 0.260 Hz for Y).

Report for the week 5/20
The highlight of the week is Terrence's measurement of the residual motion of the SR2 optic: it does fulfill the rms displacement and velocity requirements for lock acquisition and observation phases. See the report at klog entry 8949.
The integrated RMS was calculated from 5 Hz to DC because there are some peaks between 8 Hz and 10 Hz and whose origin stil have to be clarified. See the report at entries 8918 and 8933.
- After Akutsu-san's suggestion Terrence improved the air shield in two rounds, including a cylindrical cover around the viewport. This reduced the noise by about a factor of 10.
- He realized setting up the shield may have slightly changed something in the oplev and carried out another round of diagonalization.
- By exciting the pringle mode he balanced the optic coils, measured TFs and tuned the damping filters.
- The optic residual motion in L, P and Y showed a large peaks close to 0.2 Hz, which is where the micro-seismic may become apparent. This suggested the inertial damping system is not working in a suitable way. As a temporary measure he modified the filters and reduced the gain.
Lucia helped Terrence in starting the diagonalization of the SR2 geophones and provided belding filters that Terrence will optimize. (The blending frequency is 0.190 Hz for L,T and 0.260 Hz for Y). Klog 8905.
- 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 8941 and 8951.
We helped with the corresponding measurement of one of PR2 LVDT drivers. See klog 8952.
