Kiwamu, Nic, Jamie, Lisa After peeking down the X arm and fixing the ITMX isolation loops , the plan for tonight was: 1) re-establish the corner alignment after the X arm was locked and aligned today; 2) make sure that with this new alignment we have a POP beam; 3) re-lock PRMI on the carrier; 4) evaluate effectiveness of new BS baffles; 5) lock DRMI on sidebands Status ------ 1) DONE 2) DONE 3) Not quite - With the new alignment, locking the PRMI on carrier was not as easy as it was last Friday. The power in POP is higher than before and POPAIR_B, currently used for PRCL normalization, was saturating (see plot attached, every time POP AIR saturates there is a glitch in the control signals). Kiwamu reduced the BBPD electronic gain by a factor of 10, but then the normalized signal became too noisy. So the current plan is to bring back to life the POPAIR_A diode, which, according to Kiwamu, is currently blocked by a camera. Notable event: * 6.15 UTC, Sep 4 - Earthquake - SEI and SUS didn't trip, but the corner optics moved like crazy for ~20 minutes
