| ==== 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. |

| * Enzo realized that he could cover the next round of needed cables with more cable soldering and did another batch. Because Yamamoto-san's lab was running low on isopropanol, Hirata-san washed them with ethanol at Mozumi. * Enzo worked out the optimum output resistance for the LPCDs to substitute for HPCDs with the horizontal IM OSEMs. The value was quite close to that already chosen for modified LPCDs by the cryogenic group, so we're going to standardize. The modified LPCDs will have to be operated with the internal watchdog disabled for now because it was hard-wired to 2 mA. * Fabian finished adding the TM OSEM cables out to the rack and tested them. * We ran DC power and network to the second SRM stepper driver. We still need to get one more DC power cable to replace one we borrowed from SR3. We added the remaining steppers to the Python driver and MEDM screen. * We reconfigured the top of the assembly frame in preparation for the PI (removing crossbars and moving jacks down). * Hirata-san put the magnets on the SF damper and we hooked it to the PI, craned the PI into the assembly frame and joined it to the security structure. * We installed the F0-SF rod and flying saucer and suspended the SF/... section. We had plenty of spare load capacity, so we changed the CuBe spring to a weaker one and put 2.3 kg of ballast on the SF cap. This leaves 1.2 kg reserve for cables and an F0 yaw stepper mechanism. * We reduced the trim mass on the BF to compensate for the mass of the TM OSEM cables. * We measured all the bounce frequencies. * Hirata-san put magnets on the LBB damper magnet ring, put the pieces into the tank and assembled them into a sandwich ready for craning. * SR2 * Hirata-san unclamped the LBB damper rings and suspended the LBB. It still needs ballast mass and is currently sitting high, with the blades at their upper stops. |
* 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. * SR3 * 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. |

| ==== Plan for week of 11/4 ==== * Mark, Enzo, Hirata-san and Fabian at Kamioka Mon-Fri. ===== SRM ===== * Main sequence * Add magnets to SF damper. * Install #353 poles * Move NB-03 jacks down. * Crane PI into AF. * Install F0-SF rod (#331) and flying saucer. * Route SF/... cables up to underside of F0. * Do vertical height budget. * Adjust SF trim mass for balance and keystone height. * Cable/test IP LVDTs. * Cable/test IP FRs. * LBB * Move KOACH filters * Put LBB damper rings in tank. * Set tank jacks to nominal height. |
==== Plan for week of 1/7 ==== * Make sure BS is floating, recenter OL to capture current yaw position. * Vent BS. * Inspect BS F0 blades for cracks. * Install new BS F0 FR, and (if necessary) auxiliary CuBe spring. * Confirm geometry of LVDTs, geophones, FRs etc and update T1707205 if necessary. * Replace geophone preamps and cables (to fix noise, offset, pinout flip issues). * 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). |
