Electronics

• What are necessary in the next few weeks ?
  • Nothing
• Watch dog system (Tanaka)
• Guardian script for PR3 (Shoda, Okutomi, Fujii)
  • Mark adapted sustools.py library from LIGO into vistools.py, wrote scripts to automate making safe.snap files.
• Electronics diagram and review

  • #Electronics document tree for VIS by Mark (http://gwdoc.icrr.u-tokyo.ac.jp/cgi-bin/private/DocDB/ShowDocument?docid=4937)

  • #Updated PR3 schematic with OpLev wiring (http://gwdoc.icrr.u-tokyo.ac.jp/cgi-bin/private/DocDB/ShowDocument?docid=4795)

  • #Who will manage the electronics of each suspension
    • Type-Bp will be controlled by Shoda but the diagram update will be done by Mark
    • Type-A may be maintained by a new engineer. Will be discussed with the person later.
  • #We need to count electronics and cables needed for the tests, such as temporary sensors and so on.

bKAGRA preparation

• Three big categories of the tasks
  • Type-A: Leader = Takahashi, Okutomi, Ishizaki, a new engineer
  • Type-B (BS and SRC): Leader = Mark, Fabian, Hirata
  • Type-Bp modification: Leader = Shoda, Fujii, A new technician (?)

Common Issues

• Policy of the screw types to be used (Mark)
• OSEM assembly (Akutsu)
  • Schedule for each suspension is necessary

  • Each leader will tell Akutsu-kun when and how many OSEMs they need.

Type-B

• KAGRA/Subgroups/VIS/TypeB

• Task list/schedule

• Quick summary, week to 3/18
  • Hirata-san made production drawings of ballast masses for checking. IMR is still on going.
  • Fabian was at Kamioka helping with iKAGRA.
  • Mark was at Kamioka helping with iKAGRA, and worked on Python stuff to support Guardian etc.
• BS prism preparation (Mark)
  • We decided to order 6 to Shinko-sha

    • Meeting with company was set for 3/24 in Yokohama, but postponed to 3/29.

    • Aso will check with Ohashi-san about the budget -> we can place an order now.

    • We will use the sapphire prisms for the test hanging too
    • Since we need to go forward on the BS and we can't make a decision on SR, we decided to go with tall 6.28 mm prisms, which saves adjusting other parts.
• Can we make SR wire breakers bigger ?
  • Fukushima-san preparing test: 3/4/2016 + 1 month = ≈4/1/2016
• Flag design

  • BS Flag Redesign on OneDrive

  • Optic flag design
    • Concepts 4 and 5 under consideration
  • IM Flag design
    • Need to do drawings for self-assembling and rigid designs
  • Widen the OSEM opening (Akutsu)
  • A new local length sensing

    • Slides by Ettore for OpLev length sensing http://gwdoc.icrr.u-tokyo.ac.jp/cgi-bin/private/DocDB/ShowDocument?docid=4990

    • The noise of the OpLev length sensor will be worse than OSEMs

    • Reflection type shadow sensor (Akutsu)
  • Discussed a possibility to remove the sensing function from the mirror OSEM.
    • Chop off the flag part from the magnet holder
      • Safer (less possibility of flag damage)
      • Wider range

    • OpLev with two QPD sensors may be used instead to sense the longitudinal motion (Virgo is doing this)

    • Question is whether the sensing noise is good enough or not
    • Raffaele will look for documents/data in Virgo

    • Akutsu will consider if this option is possible in KAGRA OpLev

• BS dummy optics design (Fabian)

  • T1604811

  • Hirata-san received one quote, is waiting on a second.
• BS secondary prisms (no action)
• EQ stop screws, extensions and lock nuts - designed, drawn; will order in new financial year (April)
• Ballast masses for payload

  • Hirata-san created drawings DropBox link

• Lower breadboard stuff
  • Breadboard spring bases and associated cable clamps: in manufacture
  • Breadboard springs: in manufacture
  • Damper ring needs to have central hole enlarged to allow passage of suspension during installation.
    • Received quote from Mirapro. Rings were removed from KAGRA.
  • Nail-head parts too short
    • No progress since last week but Hirata-san will ask for quote from Mirapro.
• Extension springs for IM pico motors: need to do new drawing from Promec, have made
• BS Assembly Frame Design (Mark, Hirata)
  • Design is almost complete
  • Need to add some mechanism to hook a load gauge

    • Mass budget (E1604966).

  • Need to add some attachment points (e.g., ferromagnetic plates) for placing wind-shield panels.
  • Need to check the structural strength, did mass budget (see above)
  • Mirapro postponed setting a meeting date till after 3/25.
• 2D and 3D CAD

Type A

• Task list (Takahashi)

• Thinking about a possibility of testing the long filter chain using the prototype EQ stop in Kashiwa.
  • The prototype EQ stop will be transported from Kashiwa to Kamioka on 31th March.
• The kick-off meeting will be held on 31th March.

• The test of prototype long maraging rod was started. Detail is here: http://klog.icrr.u-tokyo.ac.jp/osl/index.php?r=1077

  • Measuring two points along the wire to only measure the wire elongation
  • Should check if the wire comes back to the original length after off-loading.
• Simultion: Okutomi will work with Fujii
  • Will have a draft simulation results by the Type-A kick-off meeting.
    • Got simulation information from Fujii-kun.
    • Now able to run simulation code
    • Need to confirm parameters with the actually delivered ones (like the weight)
• #Type-A Filters Optimal Load Measurements

  • #Takahashi will make a plan for the optimal load check and ask ATC.-> Check two filters per month from April 2016. -> Will be presented to the ATC steering committee.

Type-Bp modification

• Traverser motor driver (Shoda)
  • Need a box for stepping motor driver. Miyakawa-san is thinking about ordering chassis and boxes for motors. We discussed and agreed that the design of the boxes will be unified. The boxes will be designed and ordered together with those. (16/03/10)
  • Miyakawa-san wants to have a driver and a motor to test

    • Will give them to MIyakawa-san when Shoda-san come to Kamioka for the shifts

• #PR2 Wire breaker problem
  • Prism removal from PR2 (Hirose, Mark)
    • Spare mirror is now back to Kashiwa
