SHIFT SUMMARY: Observing at 150 Mpc and have been locked for almost 9.5 hours. I ended up not turning the damping gains back on for ETMX mode 6 or ETMY mode 1/6 in case I rang them up and lost damping progress, but they seem to be making their way downtown, walking slowly. Quiet shift with nothing else to report.

Observing at 150 Mpc and have been Locked for 7.5 hours. Nothing to report
(C.Gray, R.Short)
Spent about 1-day of work getting set-up, organized, game-plan in motion and finally starting the first round of cleaning for the in-vac SPI optics (Suspension Point Interferometer). Ryan and I did this cleaning on a flow bench in the Optics Table, and we have decided to clean all the optics at once step by step. The first step we did was cleaning all the barrels of these 1" (mostly) & 2" optics. This step took roughly about 2-hrs.
Next steps would be drag wipe & First Contact-ing the front & back faces of the optics.
NOTES:
1) There are some 2" PLCX (plano convex) optics which are a bit odd to clean/handle. (1) The curved convex surface might be tough to First Contact. (2) These optics don't fit in our PETG "clean" optic containers (just mentioned to Betsy and she said we might install them into their optical mounts or lay them in a pan wrapped in lens tissue). (See images 9302 & 9300 below)
2) Some of the 1" optics are in PETG containers which are not great for our "thick" beamsplitters. So one needs to be careful unwrapping these beamsplitters later on---so the lid & optic don't fall out--OPEN CAREFULLY please!

INCOMING OPERATOR: Oli
SHIFT SUMMARY: Two relocks, both lock losses caused by earthquakes. Both relocked needed an initial alignment and needed the high gain ASC to avoid the 1 Hz ringup. While locked recently, EY violin mode1/6 started to slowly ring up. I tried many settings and the best I found was Mode 1 +60 -0.2 gain, but I wouldn't say it worked, just made it not grow as fast. While we were looking at this ETMX mode 6 also started to grow. When Oli tried to damp it we noticed large changes in the DCPD window traces on the FOM. See attached. The line at 500Hz in DARM also went down by about an order of magnitude, all almost instantly. The violin mode monitors didn't show a change though. No clue what happened but the violins aren't terrible.
We've been observing for 4 hours.

OUTGOING OPERATOR: TJ
CURRENT ENVIRONMENT:
SEI_ENV state: USEISM
Wind: 8mph Gusts, 4mph 3min avg
Primary useism: 0.04 μm/s
Secondary useism: 0.46 μm/s
QUICK SUMMARY:
Observing at 150Mpc and have been Locked for almost 4 hours. We have a couple of violins that are a bit high but don't seem to be getting worse. I might try damping them if they seem to get worse or don't start coming down.
There was an earthquake moving through at the time of the lock loss, but it seemed as though the worst of it had already passed when we lost lock.
Back to observing at 1940UTC.
Relocking was slow. PRMI locked twice but I couldn't get DRMI to lock despite good looking flashes. I ran an initial alignment and then afterward DRMI eventually locked. The 1Hz ringup showed up again. I tried upping the CSOFT P gain from 25->30 which didn't help , so I moved SEI_ENV to HIGH_ASC_EQ. This saved it.
Looking at this with Jim and it seems there was a useism burst during this earhtquake, right after the majority of the r wave passed through. This was enough to cause a lock loss for us.
Wed Oct 29 10:05:17 2025 INFO: Fill completed in 5min 13secs
Relock required an initial alignment, and then there was usual ringup that started near the end of the locking sequence. I had to turn on high gain ASC to damp it down. I used SEI_ENV to do it by going to manual, requesting high ASC state, then once we were at NLN going back to auto and letting it go out of that state on its own to recover the ASC.
Observing at 1558UTC.
Tuesday morning the Geist 1250 CDS computer rack environment monitor unit at EY was found to be stuck at its last value as of 04:53 Sunday 26oct2025. Erik found the front panel display as showing these last values, and the ethernet link light was flashing rapidly. The unit (env-ey-1) could not be pinged. Erik power cycled the unit and it came back in an operational state.
This unit failed again at 01:15 Wed 29oct2025 after having ran for about 17 hours.
Note that to show future sensor failure yesterday I made a change the the MEDM screens to show the STATUS PV as a warning color (see attached)

Connected valves to be able to pump down the CP1 LN2 fill line, we started with 26 micron of pressure and we pumped down on the system with a scroll pump for most of the maintenance period, we stopped the pump down of the fill line at around 11:45 AM with pressure down to 4 micron. Both valves were closed before turning off the scroll pump. Hoses, adapter and valves remain connected, we intent to visit this item next week again.

STATE of H1: Observing at 148Mpc
INCOMING OPERATOR: Ibrahim
SHIFT SUMMARY:
Observing at 151 Mpc and have been Locked for 4.5 hours. Relocking today after maintenance was a bit strange, with two locklosses right after passing through CLOSE_BEAM_DIVERTERS. After the second attempt ended in a lockloss, during our third relocking attempt, we got stuck in PREP_DC_READOUT_TRANSITION for a bit until we discovered that the changes to the OMC whitening gain changes that had been happening as we lost lock hadn't been reverted (87813). We fixed that and continued to LASER_NOISE_SUPPRESSION, where we sat for a longer amount of time than it would have normally taken us to get up to where we lost lock the last two times. While waiting, we encountered the 1 Hz ringup again (seen during the previous two locking attempts as well), and turned on the hi asc gains to combat it. We eventually stepped up to ADS_TO_CAMERAS, then were able to turn off the hi asc gains without it ringing up again. We stepped one-by-one through the net few guardian states, waiting for a lockloss, which ended up not happening! Everything looked good so we went into Observing.
We don't know what was causing those two locklosses, but at the very least I looked through the logs and found that they didn't happen at the same spot in the locking sequence, so that rules out anything from OMC_WHITENING (and obviously CLOSE_BEAM_DIVERTERS) (first lockloss log, second lockloss log).
LOG:
23:30UTC Attempting relock #3 after maintenance day
- Paused in LASER_NOISE_SUPPRESSION
- Turned on hi gains because of 1Hz ringup
- Turned off hi gains
- 1 Hz started ringing up, turned hi gains back on
- Stepped to ADS_TO_CAMERAS
- Once ADS_TO_CAMERAS was done, turned hi gains off to see if we still had the ringup
- Stepped through the rest of the states one at a time, no locklosses

We disconnected everything from the ISS array installation spare unit S1202965 and stored it in the ISS array cabinet in the vac prep area next to the OSB optics lab. See the first 8 pictures.
The incomplete spare ISS array assy originally removed from LLO HAM2 (S1202966) was moved to a shelf under the work table right next to the clean loom in the optics lab (see the 9th picture). Note that one PD was pulled from that and was transplanted to our installation spare S1202965.
Metadata for both 2965 and 2966 were updated.
ISS second array parts inventory https://dcc.ligo.org/E2500191 is being updated.
Rahul and I cleared the optics table so Josh and Jeff can do their SPI work.
Optics mounts and things were put in the blue cabinet. Mirrors, PBS and lenses were put back into labeled containers and in the cabinet in front of the door to the change area.
Butterfly module laser, the LD driver and TEC controller were put back in the gray plastic bin. There was no space in the cabinets/shelves so it's put under the optics table closer to the flow bench area.
Single channel PZT drivers were put back in the cabinet on the northwest wall in the optics lab. Two channel PZT driver, oscilloscopes, a function generator and DC supplies went back to the EE shop.
OnTrack QPD preamp, its dedicated power transformer, LIGO's LCD interface for QPD and its power supply were put in a corner of one of the bottom shelf of the cabinet on the southwest wall.
Thorlabs M2 profiler and a special lens kit for that were given to Tony who stored them in the Pcal lab.

Per usual, R_TIA_kOhm is not used in the compensation filter -- but after ruling out an adjustment in the zero frequency (by zeroing the phase residual at the lowest few frequency points), Jeff nudged the transimpedance a bit to get the magnitude scale within the ~0.25%, shown in the attached results.

Per usual, R_TIA_kOhm is not used in the compensation filter -- but after ruling out an adjustment in the zero frequency (by zeroing the phase residual at the lowest few frequency points), Jeff nudged the transimpedance a bit to get the magnitude scale within the ~0.25%, shown in the attached results. Any scaling like this will be accounted for instead with the absolute calibration step, i.e. Side Quest 4 from G2501621, a la what was done for PR3 and SR3 top masses in LHO:86222 and LHO:84531 respectively.
Here's the characterization data and fit results for S1100174, assigned to MC2 M3's ULLLURLR OSEMs.
This sat amp is a UK 4CH sat amp, D0900900 / D0901284. The data was taken per methods described in T080062-v3, using the diagrammatic setup shown on PAGE 1 of the Measurement Diagrams from LHO:86807.
