Study of transient motion in two BSC chambers during high winds

Summary of results: 

 

Details:

In response to Sheila's alog 14416 indicating high winds, DetChar looked at the transient motion behavior of ETMX and ITMY during high local wind speeds and compared it to quieter night time (low wind speed and BLRMS motion) from two days before. 

The ETG (Event Trigger Generator, or single-ifo burst pipeline) Omicron was run on a two hour stretch of both windy and quiet times for a subset of DOFs on all stages (ground motion, HEPI, ISI ST1, ISI ST2). Omicron searched for transients (bursts of excess signal power, distinct in time and frequency) between 0.1 and 64 Hz. 

 

Take away: If we find the transient motion events in optic table motion associated with high wind speeds couple to DARM, feed forward may be a good option to mitigate this effect.
