More on 4.05 Hz

More peak hunting for the 4.05 Hz bumps. I tweaked a bit the parameters for my peak finder code, adn the channel list got a bit bigger. Full list below.

Most interesting are

H1:PEM-CS_ACC_ISCT1_REFL_Y_DQ
H1:PEM-CS_ACC_LVEAFLOOR_HAM6_Z_DQ
H1:PEM-CS_TILT_LVEA_VERTEX_T_DQ

It looks like something it's shaking the ground at 4.05 Hz in the LVEA. The 4.,05 Hz peak in those channels is coherent.

LVEA magnetometers are coherent with the ground motion. Is there some big electrical machine shaking the ground and making a magnetic field at the same frequency?

The 4.05 Hz line in the CS accelerometers have to be electrical coupling. They're identical in shape and amplitude ISCT1 and HAM6 despite being different DoFs and locations. They also are coherent with an unused ADC channel, PEM-CS_ADC_5_29_2K. It was used for DAQ stand testing but right now it's almost certainly disconnected. It sees a structure of odd harmonics of 1.35 Hz (4.05 is the third harmonic) which is coherent with both of the accelerometers. I think this structure is contaminating all of the electronics in the CS that Gabriele has identified. The PSDs, a zoomed PSD, and the coherence are attached.

So it's not motion, but it does mean there's electrical noise at 4.05 Hz, and it's in many PEM channels at least. The current clamp ADC_5_26 sees it, but is it actual current or just in the ADC?
