HAM1 work stuck at the moment (Sheila, Jamie, Kiwamu, Keita)

As soon as we flipped the beam diverter open we got the REFL beam on ISCT1.

Then we went into HAM1 and noticed that the beam was moving by a huge amount in PIT. TTs were not damping at all. Turns out that that was a TT model problem. SUS people and Dave Barker are working on it.

We will resume our work when TTs are fixed, and in the mean time we'll look at the IFO alignment.

We made one measurement using NanoScan by misaligning the 50% BS after the HWP to direct the  beam to the head. The BS and Nanoscan were approximately 8"x44" apart (give or take an inch).

  1/e^2 (13.5%) diameter mean stddev Goodness of Gaussian fit mean stddev Profile Averages
X (axis 1) 3851.01 um 1.982 um 0.01 0.000 10
Y (axis 2) 3959.23 um 1.232 um 0.01 0.000 10
45 deg (axis 1) 4117.74 1.475 0.02 0.000 10
45 deg (axis 2) 3845.62 0.763 0.00 0.000 10

These are just the numbers NanoScan software dumped. As was partially captured by https://alog.ligo-wa.caltech.edu/aLOG/index.php?callRep=8437, our experience is that Nanoscan, ModeMaster (takeing the beam size at the head) and hand-driven knife edge agree with each other within 10%.
