ITMX B&K results

Rahul K, Ibrahim A., TJ S

SEI & SUS configuration: BSC3 ISI and HEPI were locked, suspension unlocked and damped.

Accelerometer position 1 - Mounted at the bottom of the cage near the 7oclock position as seen in this photo. Accelerometer axis=IFO axis.

Meas 1 - Hitting near the accelerometer at around the 7 o'clock position in the +X direction.

Meas 2 - Hitting -Y around the 9 o'clock position.

Meas 4 - Hitting in +Z at the 6 o'clock at the bottom of the cage.

Accelerometer position 2 - This was the analagous spot to the ITMY measurements, on the cross bar between the penultimate mass and the bottom stage. Accelerometer axis to IFO axis (X,Y,Z=-Z,+X,-Y)

Meas 5 - Hitting in +X(ifo) on the crossbar under where the accelerometer is mounted.

Meas 6 - Hitting down, -Z (ifo), on the crossbar near accelerometer.

Meas 7 - Hitting in t -Y(ifo) direction on the +Y structure around the 9 o'clock position around the TM.

 

The logitudinal and transverse modes were about 0.5Hz lower with the accelerometer mounted in the second position, but hard to tell with this resolution.

First Mode Frequency (Hz)
Longitudinal 59-59.5
Transverse 66.5-67
