Here is the list of commissioning task for the next 7-14 days:
-
Reduce common length to zero.
-
Hand-off common mode to to RF.
-
Retune WFS with TCS ITMX central heating on.
-
Lock interferometer on OMC.
-
Search for red resonance sometimes fails.
-
Check RF power on 2f detectors.
-
Keep investigating lock losses.
Alignment team:
-
Make EY green WFS work again.
-
Model changes to include green WFS feedback to TMS.
-
Commission an arm alignment controls topology which can be used for initial alignment.
-
Integrate green WFS into initial alignment.
-
Revise initial alignment scheme.
Miscellaneous:
-
Fine tune Michelson contrast defect using ITMY TCS/CO2 laser.
-
Model changes in SUS for bounce and roll mode damping.
-
Finish cleanup of ISI controllers (BSC2/10).
-
Use HWS to check thermnal lens.

RF:
-
Make an assessment of RF cross talk into the IMC AOM.
-
