PSAMS coarse scan trial

Naoki, Eric, Camilla

We tried the PSAMS coarse scan from 0 to 200 with 100 step for two PSAMS. So 9 PSAMS setting in total. The nominal PSAMS is 100/100 and we tried 0/0. Unfortunately, when we tried 100/0, the lockloss happened. For each PSAMS setting, we ran the SCAN_ALIGNMENT with asqz-optimized and took 5+5 minutes quiet sqz/asqz data. The attachment shows the result. The 0/0 has much worse anti squeezing and large frequency dependence compared to 100/100. However, we are not sure if the mode matching is really worse or alignment is bad with 0/0 although we ran SCAN_ALIGNMENT. We will try to compensate the ZM alignment change caused by PSAMS change tomorrow.

Due to hysterisis in the PSAMs offsets, to get the same strain gauge values, the PSAMS values are now 135/115 for same strain gauge, accepted in sdf. May have slightly overshot in ZM4, plot attached. Naoki reran the SCAN_SQZANG script to find optimum sqz angle 188, this gave us 146Mpc range.
