We spent some time yesterday looking at the 05/31 16:45 UTC lockloss, which was caused by a couple of large earthquakes. As the ground started moving more and we got closer to losing lock, DIAG_MAIN was telling us that IMC-REFL_SERVO_SPLITMON was close to saturating (>8V), and we also got some SRM saturations. We wanted to look into what the actual cause of the lockloss was (we weren''t able to confirm that) and see if we could change anything wrt the SRM control loops or IMC SPLITMON in order to make the detector more robust against earthquakes.

We first looked at the length, pitch, and yaw of SRM M3 DRIVEALIGN to see which of the three was contributing the most drive during the earthquake (attachment1). All three have a frequency of around 57mHz. Multiplying the max L/P/Y DRIVEALIGN values reached right before the lockloss by their respective EUL2OSEM values, we find that L was 100,000, P was 52,380, and Y was 7,333, so we will want to offload some of the driving on L.

We also looked into the saturations in IMC-REFL_SERVO_SPLITMON that occured prior to the lockloss (attachment2, attachment3). The IMC-REFL_SERVO_SPLITMON trace shows it saturating multiple times, with the saturations sometimes lasting as long as 3 seconds. We compared SPLITMON to some other relevant channels - I can''t explain why these other channels are relavent, but Sheila said that we might want to talk to Daniel about reducing the load on IMC-REFL_SERVO_SPLITMON.

I looked into how often SPLITMON saturations seem to occur, and they almost exclusively happen when we have high ground motion from earthquakes or wind(attachment4). I found that there have only been two of these ground motion SPLITMON locklosses in O4b (05/14 and 05/31), but before O4b there were many more, usually more than one per month and mostly seen in clumps. I also checked which of these locklosses from the beginning of O4 were accompanied by SRM saturations, and was only able to find 7, with yesterday's being the only one this year.

Ground motion + SPLITMON + SRM saturations during O4 so far:

Lockloss @ 06/01 21:51 UTC from unknown cause

We're Observing at 155 Mpc and have been Locked for 6 hours now. Nothing else to note

The cavity finesse, beam profile and power transmitted through the crystal seem fine. The conversion efficiency however still needs a bit of attention. At the moment it is almost 30% at 60mW. An extra 5 - 10% would be good. I suspect the phase matching temperature is not quite optimised. I'll lfine tune it Monday.

Calibration was run between 06/01/2024 18:30 - UTC. Forgot to take a ss before starting calibration so I've attached one from time machine. We had been Locked for 4 hrs 7 mins when we started running calibration.

SHIFT SUMMARY: 1 lockloss from an EQ, IA to relock. We've been locked for just over 4:30

23:31 UTC The SQZer lost lock and dropped us out of Observing until 23:36 UTC

01:49 UTC Another EQ lockloss, this time a 5.6 from Tibet

02:16 UTC After a few rounds of bad PRMI to CHECK_MICH I dropped down to do an IA

03:24 UTC back to observing

03:22 UTC we went into EQ mode from a false signal on the HWUT seismometer, as we've seen before alog77554 (SEI). We transitioned back after 10 minutes, this happened a second time at 03:54 from the same seismometer

06:13 UTC superevent S240601aj

I've attached the two most recent builds (3 & 4s) TF model comparison. The R to R looks better, V still has the extra peak just below 1 Hz.

01:49 UTC Another EQ lockloss, this time a 5.6 from Tibet
