Schedule

• Schedule status (Aso)
• Repair work on the clean booth ceiling on 1/25(mon) morning.

PR3

• PR3 Installation Status (Takahashi)
  • Successfully hang the real PR3 mirror
  • RM haning is going on.
  • PR3 dusts: they are on the AR side. Remind Hirose-san to comment (Aso)
  • Traverser repair. Replaced the broken parts with the PR2 ones. The broken ones were brought back to Mitaka. Uraguchi-san will try to fix them.

  • Screws to fix the front and back rings the RM were too long, or the tapping in the holes were too short. Couldn't use M5x40. Ordered M5x35 with vent holes. For the moment, we used M5x30 without vent holes. So we need to replace them later.

• #The frame for the clean bag is bent. We cannot remove the nut. Probably we need to cut the rod once we take the suspension out of the chamber. Need to prepare a replacement rod (Aso)

    • Will ask for the lead time to the company (Mark)

  • Can we make SR wire breakers bigger ? Hirata-san's report.

    • Making it 3mm taller, then the wire will touch the RM

    • We will try to widen the slit using the dirty RM used for the test hanging.

    • We need decide on how much to widen. Check what happens if we use 5mm tall prism on CAD (Hirata)

• RM cleaning (Takahashi)

  • Which RMs are really clean ?-> 1st one and the 2nd one have different finish. So only the 1st one is dirty.

  • For the cleaning purpose, using a leutor seems enough
