The range has been degraded for the last few hours coincident with abnormal noise in the 3-10 and 10-30 Hz seismic BLRMS. The noise appears to have subsided for now and the range has recovered. PI mode 23 was ringing up coincident with glitches in DARM during this period.

C00 vs. C01 Frame Type Comparison Available

A. Urban, on behalf of the calibration group

The full suite of summary pages comparing C01 data against the online C00 frames are available here (requeres LIGO.ORG credentials). Note, these pages currently cover data between 30 November 2016 and 10 March 2017, inclusive.

Notes:

The scripts I used to generate some of these plots live in the calibration SVN repo and use GWPy (which can be sourced on any of the LDAS clusters by sourcing the gwpy.env script in that repo). The rest of it was all done using the gwsumm, the same infrastructure used to make Duncan's DetChar summary pages. (To see how a specific page was made, you can always hit "How was this page generated?" at the bottom of the page.)

this is the first run of an actual overfill using the new virtual strip tool system. This completes the cp3, cp4 portion of  FRS7782. This ticket has been extended to cover the vacuum pressure strip tool.

Reduced CP4 valve setting to 37% open - looked to be overfilling.

Double checking the HWS coordinate

WP 6562; Nutsinee, Kiwamu,

As a follow up of Aidan's analysis (35336), we did a simple measurement in this morning for determining the HWS coordinate.

- Preliminary result (currently being double checked with Aidan):


[Measurement]

[Verification measurement]

Comments related to this report
aidan.brooks@LIGO.ORG - 10:39, Monday 10 April 2017 (35435)

I've independently checked my analysis and disagree with the above aLOG. I get the same orientation that I initially calculated in aLOG 35336.

After discussing the matter with Kiwamu, it turned out there was some confusion over the orientation of the CCD. The following analysis should clear this up.

1. ABCD matrix for ITMX to HWSX (T1000179):

-0.0572 -0.000647
0.0035809 -17.4852

So, nominally the X&Y coordinates are inverted by this matrix. However, the X coordinates will be inverted in horizontal reflection off a mirror. Fortunately, there are an even number of horizontal reflections (plus the periscope but the upper and lower mirrors cancel each other).

  1. BS
  2. SR3
  3. HWSX STEER M1
  4. HWSX STEER M2
  5. HWSX STEER M3
  6. HWSX STEER M6
  7. HWSX STEER M7
  8. HWSX STEER M8
  9. HWSX STEER M9
  10. HWSX STEER M10

Therefore, we can illustrate the optical system of the HWS as below:

As viewed from above, the return beam propagates from ITMX back toward the HWSX (from right to left in this image). A positive rotation of ITMX in YAW is a counter-clockwise rotation of ITMX when viewed from above. So the return beam rotates down in the image as illustrated. The conjugate plane of the HWS Hartmann plate (plane A) is at the ITMX HR surface (plane A'). The conjugate plane of the HWS CCD (plane B) is approximately 3m from the ITMX HR surface (going into the PRC - plane B').

The even mirror reflections cancel each other out. The only thing left is the inversion from the ABCD matrix. Hence, the ray that rotates counter-clockwise at ITMX rotates clockwise at the HWS - as illustrated here. In this case, towards the right of the HWS CCD.

Lastly, the HWS CCD coordinate system is defined as shown here (with the origin in the lower-left). I verified this in the lab this morning.

 

Therefore: the orientation in aLOG 35336 is correct.

After processing the above measurement, the fit optical plant parameters are as follows:

DARM_IN1/OMC_DCPD_SUM        [ct/mA]      2.925e-7
Optical Gain                 [ct/m]       1.110e6   (+/- 1.6e3)
                             [mA/pm]      3.795     (+/- 0.0053)
Coupled Cavity Pole Freq     [Hz]         355.1     (+/- 2.6)
Residual Sensing Delay       [us]         1.189     (+/- 1.7)
SRC Detuning Spring Freq     [Hz]         6.49      (+/- 0.06)
SRC Detuning Quality Factor  [ ]          25.9336   (+/- 6.39)

Attach are plots of the fit, and how these parameters fit in within the context of all measurements from O2. 

In addition, given that the spread of the course of the detuning spring frequency is between, say 6.5 Hz and 9 Hz, I show the magnitude ratio of two toy transfer functions, where the only difference is the spring frequency. One can see that -- if not compensated for, that means a systematic magnitude error of 5%, 10%, 27% at 30, 20, and 10 Hz, respectively.

Bad news for black holes! We definitely need to track this time dependence, as was prototyped in LHO aLOG 35041.

Attached are plots comparing the sensing and response function with and without detuning frequency.  Compared to LLO (a-log 32930), at LHO the detuning frequency of ~7 Hz has significant effect on the calibration around 20 Hz (see response function plot). The code used to make this plot is added to svn,

Attached are plots showing differences in sensing functions and response functions for spring frequencies of 6 Hz and 9 Hz. Coincidentally they are very similar to the plots in the previous comment which show differences when the spring frequencies are 0 Hz and 6.91 Hz.
