Potential Scattering Noise at HAM3

Genevieve and I did about a dozen scattering injections in the LVEA on July 20th and 21st. For this round of injections we inserted the retro-reflector into the guillotine port for 10 seconds, removed for 10 seconds and repeated 6 times. We are still working through the data on those but it appears as if we had some scattering noise on HAM3 in the left guillotine port. There is an increased noise source present when the reflector is inserted. I did more scattering injections yesterday on HAM3 and HAM6 during commissioning and will parse through that data soon. Spectrograms of accelerometer on HAM3 and DARM: -Acc -DARM -Stacked with red lines around the time the reflector was inserted and noise was present
