==== Report for week of 10/29 ==== ==== Report for week of 12/17 ====
 * BS
  * We opened the top of the BS tank after the vent.
  * We inspected the BS F0 blades for cracks but still didn't find any.
  * We removed the arc weights and geophones, and added new longer studs for the arc weights and new cables for the geophones. We then put back the original arc weights and new geophones.
  * We measured the geometry of the various IP items to check the IP diagonalization matrices.
  * We installed the new double-sided F0 FR. We were not close to needing to add the optional !CuBe spring. Unfortunately the FR had rather less friction but still didn't work. After checking a bunch of possibilities and comparing against SRM (also non-working) and SR2/SR3 (working), we suspect the carriage may be assembled upside down, with the metal plate below and the PEEK plate above. We will try changing it next week.
 * We adjusted the F0 keystone trim mass and were able to get it to sit at CAD nominal height at nominal temperature (24.9°C) with mid-range FR and modest extra mass (413 g). Interestingly, we noticed that removing the arc weights and/or geophones reduced the load capacity by a few hundred grams.
 * We measured the total range of the IP FRs in steps and set them to mid-range in preparation for tuning the IP frequency and (re-)centering the IP.
Line 8: Line 16:
  * Enzo repaired some broken cables and made some long cables from shorter ones. We ultrasonically cleaned them at Toyama U, with help from Yamamoto-san. Enzo then reinforced the joins with EP30 9two cables) or heat shrink (one cable).
  * Hirata-san finished tuning the PI. It is now complete except for some PEEK cable clamp pieces which are expected next Monday.
  * Hirata-san wiped writing off the F0 and SF yoke magnets, and off the PI.
  * Hirata-san found we were running out of magnets and ordered more - we have almost enough (short by one) for the SF damper, but will need more for the LBB damper.
  * Fabian cabled and tested the BF cap picos.
  * Fabian routed all the cables up to the underside of the SF. He cabled and tested the SF LVDT and stepper.
  * We added the SF cap and weighed the SF/... section. We appear to have a good amount of load capacity margin.
  * We put receptacles and magnets on the SF damper ring.
 * SR2
  * We opened the SR2 tank, borrowed a geophone for Fujii-kun's geophone test, and left the IP locked.
  * We gathered parts for the SR2 OL. We believe we have all the pieces we need except for an LED (the one originally allocated to SR2 is currently being used for pitch setting on SRM and we may need to steal it back). Akutsu-san wants to supervise us setting up the LED and receiver supports, so that will happen next week.
  * We borrowed an LED from SR2 and set the pitch of the SRM optic.
  * We found the SRM front end had crashed and could not be properly reset by cycling the power from the web interface. Yamamoto-san eventually got it working for us, although it didn't seem to take more than restarting the user and IOP models.
  * We sealed and retested the new geophones originally intended for SRM, but decided to use them on BS instead.
  * We installed the two OL viewports. We also tried to install the camera viewport but we couldn't get the Cu gasket to sit in the recess, so we gave up and will probably reallocate the camera viewport to SR3 for now (where it will go on a different type of flange which we've had success with. Saito-san says that we can get help with the SRM flange from Mirapro on 1/28.
Line 20: Line 21:
  * Terrence visited for another week and made more measurements on the OL.
 * BS
  * We searched for the dog clamps that we had borrowed from AOS to serve as ballast for the BS LBB and returned them to the AOS pallet.
 * Electronics
  * Enzo analyzed the LPCD and worked out the resistors we need to get the drive current recommended for the IM-V OSEMs by Shoda-san. We brought back three LPCDs for modification.
  * We opened the top of the tank briefly to inspect the configuration of the F0 FR, but didn't do any significant work.
  * Hirose-san inspected inside the bottom part of the chamber and found some dust, so he recommended we wipe with Vectra-Alpha wipes (IPA-resistant type) and IPA. he gave us a powerful LED flashlight array and asked us to use it to look for dust in all the chambers.
 * Etc
  * We gave Simon a list of items we still need for the SRM OL. He seemed to think that they should be in stock at Kamioka and will help us look for them next Tue 1/15.
  * Mark and Enzo booked flights for the KAGRA International Workshop.
  * Mark had to schedule a trip to Australia for the week of 1/21 to attend to family business.

 * Add more mass to IP to get lower frequency.
 * Adjust all GAS filters to near mid-range (using keystone mass for F0 as much as possible, and FR+LVDT for SF and BF).
