In preparation for the new HAM1 ISI and the new PM1 suspension, I've created and started 3 SEI Guardian nodes - ISI_HAM1, SEI_HAM1, ISI_HAM1_BLND. I've also created and started SUS_PM1. These have been added to the Guardian overview screen, and a DAQ restart is immanent. Total node count is now 173.
While prepping the code for the other SEI nodes I noticed that ISI_HAM3 was the only ISI node that was still on common code. The H1 specific versions of the other nodes will redefine a few of the dofs that get paths turned on and off. I spoke with Jim and we decided to bring HAM3 in line with the rest and made a copy of H1 HAM2. Needed to restart this node to pick up the changes since it's a SEI node.
TJ, Sheila, Matt, Andrew (job shadow today), Camilla. WP12433. Table layout D1400241.
Following on from other beam profile work at the end stations 81358, Madi Simmonds models G2500646 and the ideas we had for understanding ETM mode matching better (googledoc), today we took some beam profiles of the EY ALS beam reflected of ETM HR in the HWS path.
We added a 532nm quarter waveplate downstream of the beamspiltter (ALS-M11) and tuned it to maximize the light reflected into the HWS path. This was removed when we were finished and left with Nanoscan beam profile.
We first took some beam profile measurements (photos 1-4) first with the QPD offsets on nominally, and then with the offsets zero'ed (phots 5-9). Unless the beam has been pico-ed (which it may have) the zero offsets should have the beam more centered on the Transmon parabolic mirrors. The beam changed when the offsets were turned off but did not look better/worse, just different. Compare photo 4 (QPD offsets on) and photo 5 (offsets off).

I double checked the positions of PR3 and SR3 before the DAQ restart that's planned for today, SR3 seems to have done a bit of drifting from the LVEA zone4 temperature increasing by ~ 2 degrees. The T cursers denote the power outage. PR3s YAW oplev looks a little different post power outage but its' top mass osems don't really seem to have moved.
Mon Apr 14 10:08:47 2025 INFO: Fill completed in 8min 44secs
FAMIS 31081 (this also serves as a checkup on the PSL following the large power outage early last week)
Generally things are behaving as expected with just a few exceptions. Most notably, both amplifier output powers are ~1W lower than before the outage, likely due to the current being lower on the pump diodes in AMP1 by ~0.1A each. We had set the currents for AMP1 (power supplies 1 and 2) back to pre-outage levels of 8.7A, but perhaps due to rounding issues coming out of Beckhoff (?) the actual current is apparently lower. We may bump these up by another tenth of an amp to see if this brings the output power back up.
PMC transmitted power is lower by ~1W (and noisier), either due to the lower power out of the amplifiers or the misalignment I can clearly see on the PMC REFL camera. I'll plan to try and touch that up, along with RefCav alignment, before the work in the enclosure for the installation of the SPI pickoff starts tomorrow. Edit: I forgot that the picomotor driver for the PSL is shared with IOT2L and lives on that table which is fully disconnected for vent work.
Morning dry air skid checks, water pump, kobelco, drying towers all nominal.
Dew point measurement at YBM , approx. -44C
Closes FAMIS26372, last checked in alog83723.
Nothing of note on the scopes, everything looks like it did during the last check.
There were some earthquakes overnight, they bled into multiple bandwidths. There was a smaller local and a larger pacific EQ within 15 minutes of each other, a 6.5 near Fiji and a 2.5 from northern Washington about ~19 hours ago.

Elenna, Matt, Camilla. Continuing ISC component inspection and prep for re-installation from 83858.
Elenna, Matt and I continued to first contact the optics in pans 1 and 2: M7, M11, M12 (new 90/10 BS), M13, M15 (New 50/50 BS), M16, M17, M18. After again inspecting some of those we cleaned yesterday, we decided to re-clean some. Some needed multiple first contacting, they aren't all perfect (there is a 1" long incredibly hard to see line on M15 and a mark in the center of M18 photo that I will ask a second option on), but otherwise we are calling these two pans of optics ready for re-installation.
For M15, I installed the picomotors that I removed from the right handed mount into a left handed siskiyou mount. I installed the manually adjustable actuators removed from the left handed mount into the right handed mount, this will be stored. Notes on how to do this are attached.
Still to be done: decide if M15 and M18 are okay or need swapping, clean optics in pan 3; inspect periscope mirrors; swap out any glass beamdumps we can.
In this alog, M18 is actually M10, E1000669 S/N 014, HR1064HT532. After speaking with Keita, we plan to replace the optics I couldn't clean, M10 and M15.
I have swapped the pan location of M15 and L2, so that L2 is now M15 is in pan#1 and L2 is in pan#2. This has been updated in the googledoc.
Sheila and I were concerned that the not closed-edge large white cloths could be causing more dust to fall on the optics, but the ones we packed on Friday still looked fine today so we think that is not an issue. We put individual closed-edge white cloths over each optic in pan 2. All the optics in pan 2 (HW1, L2, M7, M17) are clean and ready to install and it's placed back in the HAM3 cleanroom rack.
This afternoon Matt and I first contacted M1, M5, M6, M14, M18 and the new optics for M10 (E1000669-v1 S/N:?) and M15 (E040512-B1 S/N: 826-08). We're leaving a second coat on M1, M10 and M15 overnight, the center of the others all look good.

- BSC8 -X door re-installed with one round of bolt torquing (will perform another round Monday), purge air increased prior to door install, then purge valve at YBM closed. Corner volume has slight overpressure and will be blown down to atm. prior to pumpdown
- Continued installation of HAM1 electrical feedthrus
- Scroll pump staged for CP1 RGA pumpdown and bake-out
Guys, when you blow the corner down, please don't forget to measure dew point of the blowdown air. Thanks!
J. Kissel Figured I'd make the same in-air vs. in-vac comparison of the whole 6 x 6 transfer function matrix for H1 SUS PR3 like I did for SR3 in LHO:83831. D R I V E D O F L T V R P Y L -- meh meh meh eand YI R T meh -- nd eand meh meh E S V YI YI -- nd meh nd P R meh eand YI -- YI meh D O P eand YI YI YI -- nd F Y YI nd nd nd nd -- Recall the legend is YI = Yes, Interesting. DC response magnitude is a bit different between vac and air, but not by much and all the resonances show up at roughly the same magnitude. meh = The resonant structure is different in magnitude, but probably just a difference in measurement coherence eand = The cross coupling is expected, and not different between air and vac. nd = Not Different (and unmodeled). The cross-coupling is there, but it doesn't change from air to vac. (1) For some reason, the data quality on the upper diagonal is worse for the PR3 in-air TFs vs. SR3's but better on the lower diagonal. The "mehs" in PR3's cases are more "man, I wish the coherence was better so we could make a better statement." (2) For the most part, the same DOFs that are "Yes, Interesting" for PR3 are "Yes, Interesting" for SR3. Needs a more careful study, but we're only looking at crappy in-air vs. good in-vac data because we're vented right now, and we want to see if it's sensible to measure these things in air, fit the data, and trust that that fit will work in vacuum. Given that we're seeing *any* of these elements as "Yes, Interesting -- there's a difference between in-air and in-vac" means that we're getting scared away from do that -- the problem is hard enough! We'll probably just end up waiting for the SUS to be back at vacuum in a few weeks.
I am adding a comparison between SR3 and PR3 in the attached pdf.
These are the in vacuum measurments for SR3 from 2024-08-08 (in solid red) vs. the in-vacuum ones for PR3 from LHO aLog 80683 (in dashed blue).
At a glance, the M1 Transverse and Vertical couplings to M1 Yaw are at the level we considered *bad* for PR3, so I think we might have to consider these couplings into account when we implement the estimator. We will have to see how the ISI interacts with these couplings before deciding that it is a problem.
Visually the ETMY HWWD looks nominal, all power LEDs are green. To test I unplugged the top monitor connector and after a few seconds the LED-FAULT red led lit up. After 8 seconds I plugged the monitor connector back in which cleared the LED-FAULT light.
Attached trend shows the HWWD STAT go to 8 (led current fault) and the countdown timer started counting down from 20 minutes (seconds channel shown).
It appears there is no problem with the HWWD unit itself, and the change in behavior since the power outage must be related to something upstream (satellite amps). I'll pass this onto Fil for further testing.
At this point I'm not sure if the ETMY hardware watchdog system is fully functional, but bear in mind this is a secondary watchdog to the IOP SWWD.
Today's activities:
The new RF 5-way coax cable in the feedthrus are a little tight in the 5-way cross, but seemed to work ok. Also, the connections on the 4.5" feedthru port are a deep pocket connection so I was not convinced that the new connector was fully seated since you could not visually see it. Marc came out and checked continuity to settle my fears given the newness of this joint and the fact that we have many more to do. All good so far.
Picture of the completed D6 port on HAM 1, with new feedthrus and assembled five way cross extension.
Because of the tightness of the connectors when pushing the 4.5" feedthru into the D6b cross (namely the D6-5wx2 port), Fil and I checked for grounding on all of the ports/connections on this cross. All passed. Travis noted some tightness on the 5-way cross port 5wx4 on D1 opposite the chamber as well. So, Fil and I started checking these and indeed found a ground loop "fail" on both 25pins of the D1-5wx4 cross. We will try to swap in new style 25pin cables D2000456 which have entirely PEEK connector to see if that mitigates this. More to come in separate log.
[Betsy, Keita, Camilla, Richard M., Elenna]
After the power outage, we wanted to get some confirmation of PZT pointing out of the PSL. Betsy, Keita and Camilla went in the cleanroom with the IR viewer and indicator cards and took the covers off the IMC refl and trans viewports on HAM2. Keita found the beam out of the IMC REFL viewport, and I adjusted the IMC PZT in pitch and yaw under direction from Keita. I accidentally moved the pitch slider a bit at the beginning due to user error. Then, we took large steps of 1000 or 2000 counts to move the offsets in pitch and yaw.
Start values: pitch: 22721, yaw: 5488
End values: pitch: 21192, yaw: 6488
Then, Betsy found the beam out of the IMC TRANS viewport and Richard marked the beam spot approximately on the outside of the cleanroom curtain with a red sharpie. This is super rough but gives us a general location of the beam. We think this is a good enough pointing recovery to proceed with vent activities.
During this work, PSL waveplate rotetor was set to 200mW and then de-energized. I haven't re-energized as we don't need higher power for a long time.
PSL laser pipe was temporarily opened for this task and was closed after.
Attached video shows the flashing of the beam in MC TRANS path. The alignment from the PSL through the IMC is not crazy. Any further refinement should be done after we start pumping down the corner before we install HAM1 optics.
