Full Suite of Actuation Aboslute Scale Factor Measurements Complete
J. Kissel, K. Izumi

We're too exhausted to write the aLOG this deserves, so we'll just say "we did it!" and leave plots and conclusions until tomorrow. The message: from what prelimiary analysis plots we have made, we can say that these new results are consistent with those taken during ER8, modulo the well-tracked change in kappa_{TST} (the EY L3 ESD actuation strength). Stay tuned!

We can also say that using ALS DIFF instead of a single arm locked on red has drastically improved the statistical uncertainty of the Free Swinging Michelson method -- thanks LLO!
