After obtaining clear M1-M1 (top-top) TFs for HAM2 suspensions over the weekend (see LHO aLOG entry 12974), I've now processed data for lower stages as follows:- - MC1 M2-M2 undamped (2014-07-27_1090556791_H1SUSMC1_M2_damp_OFF_ALL_TFs.pdf) - MC3 M2-M2 undamped (2014-07-26_1090419127_H1SUSMC3_M2_damp_OFF_ALL_TFs.pdf) - PRM M2-M2 undamped (2014-07-26_1090421241_H1SUSPRM_M2_damp_OFF_ALL_TFs.pdf) - MC1 M3-M3 undamped (2014-07-27_1090565498_H1SUSMC1_M3_damp_OFF_ALL_TFs.pdf) - MC3 M3-M3 undamped (2014-07-26_1090427890_H1SUSMC3_M3_damp_OFF_ALL_TFs.pdf) - PRM M3-M3 undamped (2014-07-28_1090609009_H1SUSPRM_M3_damp_OFF_ALL_TFs.pdf) HAM2 ISI Status: ISI unlocked, ST1 damped, no isolation loops running. MC1, MC3 & PRM alignment: No offset was applied during this measurement. The undamped measurements from above, for each stage, have been compared with each other and the model (allhstss_2014-07-28_Phase3a_H1HSTSs_M2_Doff_ALL_ZOOMED_TFs.pdf and allhstss_2014-07-28_Phase3a_H1HSTSs_M3_Doff_ALL_ZOOMED_TFs.pdf). Summary: M2-M2 TFs, show good agreement with the model and are consistent between H1 HSTS suspensions. However, the P DOF exhibits a feature at ~2 Hz present for both MC3 and to a much larger extent PRM. I suspected this to be an artifact of the measurement, therefore, I manually repeated the P DOF TF in DTT, which verified there were no issues with the suspension (see PRM_M2_P_DOF.png below). M3-M3 TFs, again, these show good agreement with the model and are consistent between H1 HSTS suspensions, thus alleviating any concerns of rubbing. All data, scripts and plots have been committed to the sus svn as of this entry.
ISI is damped
PSL Status: SysStat: Green Output power: 36.2w Frontend Watch: Good HPO Watch: Red PMC: Locked: 4 days, 4 hours Reflected power: 4.3w Power Transmitted: 21.4w Total Power: 25.7w FSS: Locked: 4 days, 4 hours Trans PD: 0.53v ISS: Diffracted power: 7.535% Last saturation event: 3 days
Transfer functions of the lower stages of PR3 (HAM2) have been measured over the week end, with the sus undamped and the ISI damped.
M2-M2 tfs are showing good agreement with model and previous measurements (except for unexpected resonance at 0.97Hz in the L-L tf)
M3-M3 L-L is ok. P-P has a factor of 4 discrepancy with the model (similar pb as with SR3, which I thought I fixed but apparently not. I resaved a safe.snap with corrected EUL2OSEM matrix). Y-Y shows signs of couplings.
To note : The amplitude of excitation was too large, since the dac saturated for both M2 and M3 measurements (cf screenshot). I modified the drive parameters file "/ligo/svncommon/SusSVN/sus/trunk/Common/MatlabTools/SchroederPhaseTools/TFSettingsLHOHLTS", which should have correct gains from now.
The results are presented in the attachments :
1. H1 PR3 M2-M2 undamped tfs (green) compared with the model (blue)
2. H1 PR3 M2-M2 undamped tfs (pink) compared with undamped tf (in vacuum) from July last year (orange)
3. H1 PR3 M3-M3 undamped tfs (green) compared with model (blue)
4. H1 PR3 M3-M3 undamped tfs (pink) compared with H1 SR3 (cyan) (in chamber, in air, ISI locked) and L1 SR3 (in chamber, under vacuum, ISI isolated)
Data, scripts and safe.snap were commited under the svn
PR3 M1-M1 transfer functions ran over the week end after HAM2 closeout last friday are showing good agreement with the model and previous in vacuum measurements.
The results are presented in the attached pdf :
1. H1 PR3 in (closed) chamber, in air, ISI damped, M1-M1 undamped TFs (green) compared with the model (blue).
2. H1 PR3 in (closed) chamber, in air, ISI damped, M1-M1 undamped TFs (black) compared with in vacuum measurements from sept 2013 with ISI isolated (orange curve).
I have added CAL buttons to the sitemap. PCALX is attached to the EX button, EY and CS are placeholders.
After securing doors on HAM2 (see LHO aLOG entry 12995), TFs have been taken over the weekend as part of Phase 3a testing to check for rubbing or other issues that may have developed as follows:- - MC1 M1-M1 undamped (2014-07-27_1090539018_H1SUSMC1_M1_damp_OFF_ALL_TFs.pdf) - MC3 M1-M1 undamped (2014-07-26_1090401593_H1SUSMC3_M1_damp_OFF_ALL_TFs.pdf) - PRM M1-M1 undamped (2014-07-26_1090403653_H1SUSPRM_M1_damp_OFF_ALL_TFs.pdf) HAM2 ISI Status: ISI unlocked, ST1 damped, no isolation loops running. MC1, MC3 & PRM alignment: No offset was applied during this measurement. The undamped measurements from above have been compared with each other and the model (allhstss_2014-07-28_Phase3a_H1HSTSs_M1_Doff_ALL_ZOOMED_TFs.pdf). Summary: MC1, MC3 & PRM show good agreement with the model and perform consistently, thus raising no concerns of rubbing. Now need to check lower stage TFs and take power spectra. All data, scripts and plots have been committed to the sus svn as of this entry.

Patrick and Dave
at 14:52PDT cdsfs0 (file server for /ligo) encountered a error. All workstations are frozen due to loss of /ligo.
We are rebooting to see if we can bring it back.
/ligo file system is back. I tried to remotely power cdsfs0 down, but it got stuck in the process. Patrick powered it down using the front panel button, then powered it up. It did not do an automatic fsck and rebooted quickly. All systems appear to have reconnected to the file system seamlessly.
I checked the vacuum alarms to cell phones and MEDM screens to web are working. I verified the DAQ was unaffected. Patrick says the workstations in the control room became unstuck without any reboots needed. Some workstations are locked out by users and may have been running transfer functions, Patrick is emailing the relevant commissioners to check their TFs.
The Hanford Fire Dept will be on sight doing some fire hydrant flow measurements. Should be done around noon.
Hanford Fire is done testing Hydrants for the day. Thank you Mike Pedraza for shutting off the Pumps for me. They could not test Hydrant 11 still out of service due to leak nor Hydrant 7 which has a broken valve.

no unexpected restarts. PCAL work at EX.
Mike V, Richard S, Shivaraj K and Darkhan T Pcal efficiency measurements were taken at EndX on 07/22/2014, 07/23/2014 and 07/24/2014. We took in-chamber and out-of-chamber measurements on 07/22/2014 and saw >2% power drop between transmitter output and receiver input (overall efficiency). On the same day during several measurements in the beginning halogen chamber illumination lights were turned on. During measurements on following days we kept halogen illumination off. Since major power drop was between transmitter output and ETMX input (viewport+periscope), on 07/23/2014 before taking any measurements we wiped some of the periscope mirrors. By now we have * 3 samples of in-chamber measurements, efficiency of ETMX at Pcal laser wavelength (1047nm) and two viewports separately; * 5 samples of out-of-chamber measurements, for overall efficiency calculations.

Success....HAM2 closed up :-)
Quick rundown of events.
Entering HAM2 straight after doing door work on HAM3 and the particle counts were zero. We had some troubles with PRM showing signs of rubbing overnight so we looked at this first. I didnt find anything glaring but saw a couple stops kinda close. We backed these off ran another set of TFs and got a clean bill of health. Then to save time later we centered all ther OSEMs on all four suspensions on all stages. After this I locked all four HXTs's to get ready for FC pull
Jeff B went in and did a quick last wipe down, put in wafer and monitor optic, removed optics/wafers that were still in chamber, etc. We were all straged to pull FC but couldnt get low particle counts. People were working in BSC's so asked the to stand down to let the particle counts drop.
After a quick lunch to let the particle counts settle, it was all systems go. On the way out we bumped into Mike Landry et. al. who had been doing tests with the large optics/top gun. I am sure he will write a report on his work but he indicated it took ~9mins for the fields to drop. Thus we decided we should blow the smaller optics for 5mins continuously with the top gun after FC pulled. As I was worried about the pony sized bottles running out we dragged a large cylinder out there for the top gun.
Particle counts showed us good to go and so we pulled PR3, then MC1 then PRM FC. I went for MC1 now due to the awkwardness of having to unlock that suspension and how have to get on the table to do so. And I didnt want to do this with a half unlocked ISI. I inspected each optic for particulate and Arnaud/Stuart have a log of what I saw (which they will post). We also pulled the FC on the moitor optic. After I reminded myself about 50 times about it :-). We actually had to pull FC twice on it as after I pulled the outer layer, we saw there was still FC on the backside, so had to remove optic to pull backside FC and put optic back. Afte unlocking those three suspensions, TFs were taken on all three by Jeff K/Arnaus and given the all clear. Once the all clear given, the ISI was unlocked on east side and door went on.
Whilst door being put on on east side I pulled the FC on the MC1 suspension (particle counts were low), and unlocked the suspension. We found we had to change some of the OSEM positions on the three stages. TF's were taken on this suspension and given the all clear. Whilst TFs were being taken, Richard M transitioned us to laser hazard, and I visually inspected the ISS array cables one last time and they all looked plugged in.
Once TF's were given the okay, the offset settings for the MC mirrors for when we flashed the mode cleaner successfully in the past were applied and the mode cleaner flashed right away. YES.
ISI on west side unlocked and door went on :-) :-)
Stuart/Arnaud have a detailed log of particle counts/timeline/particles per square inch on the optic which will post to this log
Pic: The HAM closeup crew. Thankyou to all who have helped get LHO to this point. Its amazing to be to this point and when we had schedulded it
Attached below is a log and particle counts taken during the HAM2 work covering the period 1056 (local) to 1431 (local). Thanks to Arnaud for logging the afternoon session.
