Landry ordered an interior inspection of each beam tube enclosure (BTE) interior to document potential areas of ingress. R. Thompson with Apollo Mech is presently tasked with this inspection. During inspection of the X1 enclosure, roughly 5 sections -X of the X arm overpass, Randy observed cracking at the base of the interior of the enclosure. After further investigation he found 4-5 cracks running parallel of one another across the entire section at roughly the 10 & 2 o&#39;clock positions. I was called to come give this section a second look. The cracks were also immediately concerning to me. The first thing I wanted to better understand was the interior width to assess if the section was shifting. With Randy&#39;s help, I measured the interior spans of each end of the neighboring tube sections (4 measurements) as well as an additional 4 of the same spans of the tube sections on display outside of the LExC. On average, these spans measure 151" +/- .25". The section in question measures 154" at each end. Moreover, during installation Fred Raab has informed us that grouting was done on the BTE interiors to mitigate a "walking" effect that was causing misalignment between sections. This grouting has clearly separated from the BTE interior which confirms that there is in fact splaying of this section. The current short term "fix" implemented by FAC and VAC has been the erection of scaffolding topped with planking across the 10&#39; area of beam tube at risk of falling debris. This should act as makeshift roof. For the long term, R. McCarthy is currently consulting with structural engineers whom we hope can help us work up a solution to prevent further splaying. Contained in the photos attached are measurements with appropriate labeling of each section (number counted from second door on X1 traveling -X), as well as a "+X" or "-X" which simply denotes if the measurement is on the +X or -X end of the tube section, photos illustrating the separation of the BTE interior from the as-installed BTE grouting, the scaffolding presently in place, the cracking at the footing/mid sections, and a LIGO Yelp review written in welders soapstone (circa ~96&#39;) near the splayed tube section.

Kissel, M. Pirello There are four pico-motor actuated mirrors in the HAM2-3 ISI SPI Pathfinder (or, generically HAM2 = ISI"J" and HAM3= ISI"K"), M_M1, M_C1, M_B4, and M_M2 (see page 3 of <a href="https://dcc.ligo.org/LIGO-D2400108">D2400108</a>). Those optics have the following mounts: - M_M1 = IXM100.C2L-VC LIGO = 1" optic mount, left-handed. - M_C1 = IXM200.C2-VC LIGO = 2" optic mount, right-handed. - M_B4 = IXM100.C2-VC LIGO = 1" optic mount, right-handed. - M_M2 = IXM100.C2-VC LIGO = 1" optic mount, right-handed. To-date the assembly procedure has been scattered into incomplete pieces, including separated mechanical assembly (<a href="https://dcc.ligo.org/LIGO-D1100362">D1100362</a> and <a href="https://dcc.ligo.org/LIGO-E2500163-v1">E2500163-v1</a>) and electrical assembly (<a href="https://dcc.ligo.org/LIGO-D1400279">D1400279</a>). As such, I&#39;ve created an all-inclusive assembly procedure in <a href="https://dcc.ligo.org/LIGO-E2500163-v2">E2500163-v2</a>, and the DCC file-card now perma-links to a google photo album containing many more photos than even what&#39;s in the procedure. So, now I can write this aLOG, which "just" says -- we&#39;ve completed the assembly for SPI&#39;s four pico-actuated mirrors, per <a href="https://dcc.ligo.org/LIGO-E2500163-v2">E2500163-v2</a> assembly instructions.

Yesterday we updated them&nbsp;<a href="https://alog.ligo-wa.caltech.edu/aLOG/index.php?callRep=87473">87473</a>&nbsp;but didn&#39;t load the camera servo guardian, so the guardian did not use the correct lscparams file. This meant that the A2L gains (ISC_LOCK controlled) were set for the new spot, but the camera offsets (camera servo guardian controlled) were at the old spot. This was also missed because these values are not monitored in the observe SDF files. We noticed that:</p> <ul> <li>the buildups were even lower than normal, because the camera offsets were wrong</li> <li>therefore kappa c was at 0.96</li> <li>the sensitivity was also bad because the A2L and camera offsets were mismatched, causing extra ASC coupling</li> <li>the calibration monitoring lines showed 3% uncertainty at 33 Hz, this is usually 2%</li> </ul> <p>Many of these are issues are documented in Ryan&#39;s shift alog here:&nbsp;<a href="https://alog.ligo-wa.caltech.edu/aLOG/index.php?callRep=87485">87485</a>.</p> <p>We dropped out of observing and I set the EY camera offsets to their proper value. This immediately began increasing the PRG and arm power. Then, I loaded the camera servo guardian so that when we relock these values are set properly. Then, I proceeded to monitor all the camera offsets and A2L gains and accept their new values in OBSERVE. This will cause SDF differences if these values change. However, I think these are important enough settings that we should be monitoring them for observing.</p> <p>Kappa C has increased and the calibration monitoring lines are now back to 2% or less.</p> <!--- Output file_1_87495 div --> <div id="file_1_87495" class="commentHdr"> Images attached to this report <!-- Output break div. --> <div class="break"></div> <!--- Close file_1_87495 div --> </div> <!--- Output files_1_87495 div --> <div id="files_1_87495" class="reportDetails"> <a href="https://alog.ligo-wa.caltech.edu/aLOG/uploads/87495_20251015120708_buildups_camera_offset_change.png" target="blank"><img src="https://alog.ligo-wa.caltech.edu/aLOG/uploads/tn/tn_87495_20251015120708_buildups_camera_offset_change.png" class="outputImg" /></a> <a href="https://alog.ligo-wa.caltech.edu/aLOG/uploads/87495_20251015120721_cam_pit3.png" target="blank"><img src="https://alog.ligo-wa.caltech.edu/aLOG/uploads/tn/tn_87495_20251015120721_cam_pit3.png" class="outputImg" /></a> <a href="https://alog.ligo-wa.caltech.edu/aLOG/uploads/87495_20251015120723_cam_pit2.png" target="blank"><img src="https://alog.ligo-wa.caltech.edu/aLOG/uploads/tn/tn_87495_20251015120723_cam_pit2.png" class="outputImg" /></a> <a href="https://alog.ligo-wa.caltech.edu/aLOG/uploads/87495_20251015120729_cam_pit1.png" target="blank"><img src="https://alog.ligo-wa.caltech.edu/aLOG/uploads/tn/tn_87495_20251015120729_cam_pit1.png" class="outputImg" /></a> <a href="https://alog.ligo-wa.caltech.edu/aLOG/uploads/87495_20251015120924_cam_yaw1.png" target="blank"><img src="https://alog.ligo-wa.caltech.edu/aLOG/uploads/tn/tn_87495_20251015120924_cam_yaw1.png" class="outputImg" /></a> <a href="https://alog.ligo-wa.caltech.edu/aLOG/uploads/87495_20251015120929_cam_yaw2.png" target="blank"><img src="https://alog.ligo-wa.caltech.edu/aLOG/uploads/tn/tn_87495_20251015120929_cam_yaw2.png" class="outputImg" /></a> <a href="https://alog.ligo-wa.caltech.edu/aLOG/uploads/87495_20251015120931_cam_yaw3.png" target="blank"><img src="https://alog.ligo-wa.caltech.edu/aLOG/uploads/tn/tn_87495_20251015120931_cam_yaw3.png" class="outputImg" /></a> <a href="https://alog.ligo-wa.caltech.edu/aLOG/uploads/87495_20251015120937_EY_A2L.png" target="blank"><img src="https://alog.ligo-wa.caltech.edu/aLOG/uploads/tn/tn_87495_20251015120937_EY_A2L.png" class="outputImg" /></a> <a href="https://alog.ligo-wa.caltech.edu/aLOG/uploads/87495_20251015120939_EX_A2L.png" target="blank"><img src="https://alog.ligo-wa.caltech.edu/aLOG/uploads/tn/tn_87495_20251015120939_EX_A2L.png" class="outputImg" /></a> <a href="https://alog.ligo-wa.caltech.edu/aLOG/uploads/87495_20251015120944_IY_A2L.png" target="blank"><img src="https://alog.ligo-wa.caltech.edu/aLOG/uploads/tn/tn_87495_20251015120944_IY_A2L.png" class="outputImg" /></a> <a href="https://alog.ligo-wa.caltech.edu/aLOG/uploads/87495_20251015120947_IX_A2L.png" target="blank"><img src="https://alog.ligo-wa.caltech.edu/aLOG/uploads/tn/tn_87495_20251015120947_IX_A2L.png" class="outputImg" /></a> <!-- Output break div. --> <div class="break"></div> <!--- Close files_1_87495 div --> </div> <!-- Output break div. --> <div class="break"></div> https://alog.ligo-wa.caltech.edu/aLOG/index.php?callRep=87495 elenna.capote@ligo.org Wed, 15 Oct 2025 12:11:03 -0700 H1 ISC H1 General - OPS Wednesday DAY shift start https://alog.ligo-wa.caltech.edu/aLOG/index.php?callRep=87485 <p>Author: ryan.crouch@ligo.org</p><p>Report ID: 87485</p><p><strong>TITLE:</strong> 10/15 Day Shift: 1430-2330 UTC (0730-1630 PST), all times posted in UTC<br /> <strong>STATE of H1:</strong> Observing at 150Mpc<br /> <strong>OUTGOING OPERATOR:</strong> Ibrahim<br /> <strong>CURRENT ENVIRONMENT:</strong><br /> &nbsp; &nbsp; SEI_ENV state: CALM<br /> &nbsp; &nbsp; Wind: 0mph Gusts, 0mph 3min avg<br /> &nbsp; &nbsp; Primary useism: 0.08 &mu;m/s<br /> &nbsp; &nbsp; Secondary useism: 0.13 &mu;m/s&nbsp;<br /> <strong>QUICK SUMMARY:</strong></p> <ul> <li>14:00 UTC Observing <ul> <li><a href="https://alog.ligo-wa.caltech.edu/aLOG/uploads/87485_20251015113832_pi_ringups_10-15-25.png">DCPD window</a> shows something ringup then damp back down in the past 15 minutes, Transient PI?

However, the cylinder is supposed to be isolated from the ISS array plate (and therefore the entire ISS array structure) by two pieces of kapton insulators (part #10). PCB assembly, which is connected to the PD, is sandwiched between two aluminum clamps (part #2 &quot;PDD clamp&quot; and part #11 &quot;Clamping plate&quot;, which I refer to the bottom and&nbsp;the top clamp respectively), but the PCB ground is isolated from the clamps by an insulator ring (part &quot;7?&quot;).</p> <p>This way ground loop is broken even though the can of the PD is connected to the shield of two SMP coax cables on the PCB board (part #1).</p> <p>Rahul and I checked the continuity between the cylinder and the ISS array cage. (Note that this check could not be done without disconnecting all SMP cables from the preamp first, because the preamp&#39;s ground is somehow connected to the optics table, which is connected to the ISS array cage.)</p> <p><strong>Issues found on the installation spare:</strong></p> <p>Unfortunately two of the PDs on the first floor (PD 5 and 6 in our notation in the lab, see the 2nd picture for the notation even though that is the picture of the 3IFO unit) didn&#39;t pass the check.</p> <p>We also checked the grounding of the QPD and it was good.</p> <p><strong>Inspecting 3IFO, finding the same issue, and fixing it:</strong></p> <p>We quickly checked the 3IFO unit too and found that it also had a grounding issue for one of the PDs (PD 2). In the 2nd attachment, you can see that the space between the top and the bottom clamp of PD2 is smaller than the others.</p> <p>We removed the top clamp and found no insulator (3rd attachment). We disconnected the PCB from the PD and learned that:</p> <ol> <li>Disconnecting the PCB won&#39;t change the PD position. PD is somehow firmly attached to the main photodiode mount, and it won&#39;t shift unless we loosen the bottom clamp.&nbsp;</li> <li>The insulator was found on the other side of the PCB, between the PCB assy and the PEEK pin guide (part #4).</li> <li>Installing the insulator on the correct side (4th attachment) and reinstalling the top clamp, the grounding was broken.</li> </ol> <p><strong>Fixing the issue on the installation spare:</strong></p> <p>With the new knowledge about the insulator, we looked at the gap between the top and the bottom clamps of the PDs for the installation spare unit and it looked like PD5, 6, 7 had the insulator on the wrong side of the PCB even though PD7 didn&#39;t have the grounding issue.</p> <p>Sure enough, we removed the top clamp for these problematic PDs, found no insulator for any of these (5th attachment), removed the PCB and found the insulator on the wrong side (6th attachment shows you one example), installed them correctly and the grounding problem was gone.</p> <p><strong>Electrical test:</strong></p> <p>Since we have disconnected the PCB and reconnected to the PDs, we reconnected all of the PDs to the preamp again and confirmed that all PDs still respond to the light as they used to.</p> <p>We haven&#39;t measured if any one of these are much noisier than the others, which we&#39;ll check later.</p> <!--- Output file_1_87477 div --> <div id="file_1_87477" class="commentHdr"> Images attached to this report <!-- Output break div. --> <div class="break"></div> <!--- Close file_1_87477 div --> </div> <!--- Output files_1_87477 div --> <div id="files_1_87477" class="reportDetails"> <a href="https://alog.ligo-wa.caltech.edu/aLOG/uploads/87477_20251014165657_Screenshot2025-10-14at164910.png" target="blank"><img src="https://alog.ligo-wa.caltech.edu/aLOG/uploads/tn/tn_87477_20251014165657_Screenshot2025-10-14at164910.png" class="outputImg" /></a> <a href="https://alog.ligo-wa.caltech.edu/aLOG/uploads/87477_20251014174429_3IFO_unit.jpg" target="blank"><img src="https://alog.ligo-wa.caltech.edu/aLOG/uploads/tn/tn_87477_20251014174429_3IFO_unit.jpg" class="outputImg" /></a> <a href="https://alog.ligo-wa.caltech.edu/aLOG/uploads/87477_20251014174519_3IFO_PD2_NoInsulation.jpg" target="blank"><img src="https://alog.ligo-wa.caltech.edu/aLOG/uploads/tn/tn_87477_20251014174519_3IFO_PD2_NoInsulation.jpg" class="outputImg" /></a> <a href="https://alog.ligo-wa.caltech.edu/aLOG/uploads/87477_20251014174610_3IFO_PD2_InsulatorInstalled.jpg" target="blank"><img src="https://alog.ligo-wa.caltech.edu/aLOG/uploads/tn/tn_87477_20251014174610_3IFO_PD2_InsulatorInstalled.jpg" class="outputImg" /></a> <a href="https://alog.ligo-wa.caltech.edu/aLOG/uploads/87477_20251014174658_H1spare_PD567_NoInsulation.jpg" target="blank"><img src="https://alog.ligo-wa.caltech.edu/aLOG/uploads/tn/tn_87477_20251014174658_H1spare_PD567_NoInsulation.jpg" class="outputImg" /></a> <a href="https://alog.ligo-wa.caltech.edu/aLOG/uploads/87477_20251014174740_InsulatorOnTheWrongSide.jpg" target="blank"><img src="https://alog.ligo-wa.caltech.edu/aLOG/uploads/tn/tn_87477_20251014174740_InsulatorOnTheWrongSide.jpg" class="outputImg" /></a> <!-- Output break div. --> <div class="break"></div> <!--- Close files_1_87477 div --> </div> <!-- Output break div. --> <div class="break"></div> https://alog.ligo-wa.caltech.edu/aLOG/index.php?callRep=87477 keita.kawabe@ligo.org Tue, 14 Oct 2025 17:55:38 -0700 H1 PSL H1 SUS - Weekly In-Lock SUS Charge Measurement FAMIS https://alog.ligo-wa.caltech.edu/aLOG/index.php?callRep=87482 <p>Author: oli.patane@ligo.org</p><p>Report ID: 87482</p><p>Closes&nbsp;<a href="https://ligo-wa.accruent.net/LB_Request_UpdateElevate.asp?RequestID=28427">FAMIS#28427</a>, last checked&nbsp;<a href="https://alog.ligo-wa.caltech.edu/aLOG/index.php?callRep=87380">87380</a></p> <p>ITMX had too low of coherence again this week so it didn&#39;t run.

The <a href="https://alog.ligo-wa.caltech.edu/aLOG/uploads/87473_20251014163944_camera_servo_engagement.png">first attachment</a> shows how the PRG, REFL LF and circ power signals dropped as the camera servo guardian engaged the cameras. After reengaging the ADS, we saw that the buildups increased again, although not to the exact same level that they were before the camera engaged. This suggested to us that the camera servos were not going to the same camera set point as before. Oli spoke to the vacuum team that had been doing work at EY and found out that the EY camera cable had been very taut and they tried to loosen it. It&#39;s possible they bumped the camera during their work.</p> <p>While we were considering what to do, we noticed that OMC DCPD sum was increasing rapidly. We realized this was due to a PI ringing up at <a href="https://alog.ligo-wa.caltech.edu/aLOG/uploads/87473_20251014170958_OMC_PI_10p2.png">10.2 kHz</a>. It&#39;s not a PI we usually damp, so there were no PI guardian warnings, and we didn&#39;t know how to damp it. Matt thinks this is a PI that we usually see ring up early in the lock, but with a relatively small amplitude, as the Y arm mode passes by. It usually does not need damping. We started getting DCPD saturations warnings, and we were certain we were going to lose lock. We thought perhaps that if we were in a slightly different beam position, that could cause this PI to ring up more than usual. Matt also pointed out that the CO2s had stayed on much longer for commissioning today. I had also held the IFO at 25 W before and after moving spots to perform some ASC measurements. So this was definitely not a normal locking process. However, the PI started to turn around on its own (we think), and we held the lock.</p> <p>Jenne and I tried engaging the <a href="https://alog.ligo-wa.caltech.edu/aLOG/uploads/87473_20251014170623_camera_spot_move.png">camera servos again</a>, and saw that indeed doing so does reduce the buildups. Our thinking is that if the EY camera got bumped, the digital offset we normally use has probably changed. We also noticed that the low frequency sensitivity was slightly worse than usual, suggesting that wherever the beam was, the A2L decoupling was bad. So, we decided to move the EY camera offsets to see if we could regain the buildups, following the assumption that something had changed at EY. We looked at the camera offset value that was present when the ADS lines were on. We changed the ETMY pitch and yaw offset values. This resulted in a 2 count change for ETMY pitch, from -230 to -228 and a 0.5 ct change in yaw from -349.5 to -349. Changing to these new offsets increased the buildups again. We also saw that the ADS had taken the ETMX camera error signal to a slightly different offset, so we tried changing the ETMX pitch value, but this had no change on the buildups so we reverted.</p> <p>Even though this whole process was designed to bring us back to the nominal ETMY spot position, it appeared that the low frequency sensitivity was still bad, I ran the A2L script. I watched TJ&#39;s <a href="https://alog.ligo-wa.caltech.edu/aLOG/uploads/87473_20251014170630_A2L_script_run.png">A2L script scope</a> and noticed that the A2L starting value for ETMY pitch was very far from zero, so the script never took the A2L value to the minimum. Jenne and I ended up guesstimating what a good A2L value was so that the starting point would be close enough to the minimum that the script steps would go there. This results in a significantly different A2L gain than before for ETMY pitch. I copied the tables below for each A2L script attempt. The nominal ETMY pitch value before was 5.62 and now it is 6.43. According to the a2l lookup script, this is a 3.8 mm change in spot position. The ETMX A2L gains also updated slightly, as you can see below. I did not make any changes to the gains where the diff between final and inital was 0.01 in magnitude.</p> <p>Now that we have been in NLN for 3.5 hours, the <a href="https://alog.ligo-wa.caltech.edu/aLOG/uploads/87473_20251014170627_arm_power_kappa_c_compare.png">buildups still seem lower than usual</a>. Circulating powers usually read about 382 &quot;kW&quot;, but they are currently reading about 374 &quot;kW&quot;. Kappa C is also 0.975, and it is usually 0.98. I&#39;m not convinced that the beam is in the correct spot.</p> <p>Jenne suggested that we could try going back to the old A2L gains, and then adjusting the camera offset until the ADS lines are minimized, which I think is a good idea. However, I do want to point out that our range is currently reading 160 Mpc on sensmon clean.</p> <p>The new ETMY camera offsets and the updated A2L gains are saved in lscparams and loaded in ISC_LOCK.

As can be seen from the scans we did of the DC voltage of the diodes as we moved the input alignemnt in horizontal translation and yaw from alog #<a href="https://alog.ligo-wa.caltech.edu/aLOG/index.php?callRep=87290">87290</a>, 2 and 6 have a range of alignment that is shifted relative to the other 6.</p> <p>We also&nbsp;checked this with a IR sensitive camera with a zoom lens.</p> <p>One person used the camera with a zoom lens to check the spot on the PDs as another person loosened the screws from behind the array and the third person held the barrel of the PD assembly to stop it moving or rotating in an undesired direction.</p> <p>There is not a lot of space as 2 and 6 are in a column and are very close to diodes 1 and 5 on the right.</p> <p>The horizontal scan we took after these moves showed we had made things worse, see <a href="https://alog.ligo-wa.caltech.edu/aLOG/uploads/87466_20251014123943_20251010_post_moving_PD2and6_hori_scan.png">this</a> image.</p> <p>Later that afternoon, Keita moved the PD 2 back and checked the alignment and it looks better.</p> <hr /> <p>The alignment as of yesterday (Monday)&nbsp;was 143mm in pitch (as read out by the allen key in the PZT mirror pitch actuator wheel)&nbsp;and 0.4145 inches in horizontal translation as read out by the translation stage the PZT mirror sits on.</p> <p>Keita measured the coupling (after finding an error in my code from the previous coupling measurement I plotted last Thursday (alog #<a href="https://alog.ligo-wa.caltech.edu/aLOG/index.php?callRep=87400">87400</a>)).</p> <p>The coupling in both vertical and horizontal is below 10, so this should be good enough for install if all else checks out.</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p>Yesterday afternoon, Rahul and I did the <a href="https://alog.ligo-wa.caltech.edu/aLOG/uploads/87466_20251014135829_20251013_vertical_scan_4162thou.png">vertical scan</a> (slightly off from the horizontal reference position of 0.4145 inches that Keita had aligned to). The data in this graph was collected at a horizontal translation stage reading of 0.4162 inches.</p> <p>We had to redo the <a href="https://alog.ligo-wa.caltech.edu/aLOG/uploads/87466_20251014135840_20251014_hori_scan_143mm.png">horizontal scan</a> today as I missed out some scan values yesterday. The data was collected with the pitch indicator at 143mm (the allen key on the pitch wheel actuator).</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> ISC, PSL <!--- Output file_1_87466 div --> <div id="file_1_87466" class="commentHdr"> Images attached to this report <!-- Output break div. --> <div class="break"></div> <!--- Close file_1_87466 div --> </div> <!--- Output files_1_87466 div --> <div id="files_1_87466" class="reportDetails"> <a href="https://alog.ligo-wa.caltech.edu/aLOG/uploads/87466_20251014123943_20251010_post_moving_PD2and6_hori_scan.png" target="blank"><img src="https://alog.ligo-wa.caltech.edu/aLOG/uploads/tn/tn_87466_20251014123943_20251010_post_moving_PD2and6_hori_scan.png" class="outputImg" /></a> <a href="https://alog.ligo-wa.caltech.edu/aLOG/uploads/87466_20251014130257_Screenshot2025-10-13at124738.png" target="blank"><img src="https://alog.ligo-wa.caltech.edu/aLOG/uploads/tn/tn_87466_20251014130257_Screenshot2025-10-13at124738.png" class="outputImg" /></a> <a href="https://alog.ligo-wa.caltech.edu/aLOG/uploads/87466_20251014135829_20251013_vertical_scan_4162thou.png" target="blank"><img src="https://alog.ligo-wa.caltech.edu/aLOG/uploads/tn/tn_87466_20251014135829_20251013_vertical_scan_4162thou.png" class="outputImg" /></a> <a href="https://alog.ligo-wa.caltech.edu/aLOG/uploads/87466_20251014135840_20251014_hori_scan_143mm.png" target="blank"><img src="https://alog.ligo-wa.caltech.edu/aLOG/uploads/tn/tn_87466_20251014135840_20251014_hori_scan_143mm.png" class="outputImg" /></a> <!-- Output break div. --> <div class="break"></div> <!--- Close files_1_87466 div --> </div> <!-- Output break div. --> <div class="break"></div> https://alog.ligo-wa.caltech.edu/aLOG/index.php?callRep=87466 jennifer.wright@ligo.org Tue, 14 Oct 2025 14:00:41 -0700 H1 IOO H1 SEI - Comment to SEI_ENV node testing with High ASC gain testing https://alog.ligo-wa.caltech.edu/aLOG/index.php?callRep=87470 <p>Author: ryan.crouch@ligo.org</p><p>Report ID: 87470</p><p>It looks like we lost it from a big DHARD_P oscillation and it corresponds to CHARD_P gain increasing back to nominal right as the P filters are reset?

The good news is that there were no errors in the code and it did exactly what I asked of it. The bad news is that we lost lock while transitioning back to a low gain state. This wasn&#39;t a great test though because I had a brain fart and forgot to change the thresholds for the test. The high gains were turned on, then immediately turned back. So I&#39;m not entirely sure if the lock loss was from the transition back, or just the fact that we quickly flipped it back and forth.&nbsp;</p> <p>The major change between what SEI_ENV does and what the script the operators use right now is that the sleep timers between engaging/disengaging each loop are almost completly gone. At minimum for the next test it seems that we need some for the return back to low gain, or maybe increased tramps.</p> <p>On the bright side, it looks like the structure of the node and the code seems to work, just need to tune it a bit.

Although it generally seemed like we had regained or even increased the powers everywhere, kappa C has indicated that the optical gain reduced. Our current kappa C has been consistently near 0.98 since the outage.</p> <p>However, I calculated the full optical gain value today from the most recent calibration report (<a href="https://alog.ligo-wa.caltech.edu/aLOG/index.php?callRep=87431">20251012T200500Z</a>) and the current exported report on August 23 (<a href="https://alog.ligo-wa.caltech.edu/aLOG/index.php?callRep=86530">20250823T183838Z</a>).

Just from the first page, we can see that the PCAL/GDS transfer function, as measured by both PCAL X and Y, show the uncertainty to be around 1% again. We can see that the modeled actuation strength matches up very well with the current model that has been running since 8/28, indicating that I corrected the drivealign gain properly (ignoring all the mistakes I made in the middle).</p> <p>The difference in the sensing function is mostly due to the loss of optical gain, this came with the power outage. There might be some small change in the spring, but it is very minimal, and that lines up with the fact that trying to adjust the SRCL offset yesterday only made things worse.</p> <p>Comparing the <a href="https://alog.ligo-wa.caltech.edu/aLOG/uploads/87409_20251010155328_GDS_PCAL.png">GDS/PCAL broadband</a> with previous measurements, we can see that this broadband (in red, Oct 10) is almost exactly the same at the broadband taken on Aug 28 (gray reference) when we pushed this particular calibration. There are small differences at low frequency, perhaps due to some change in the spring behavior of the sensing function, and at high frequency, which I don&#39;t have a good immediate reason for.</p> <p>Given that correcting the TST actuation strength brought the calibration almost exactly back to the model, I spoke with Joe to understand then what the &quot;mysterious&quot; large deviation in the calibration was on Oct 4 (green trace). In the process, I also made a plot comparing the same measurement times, but instead looking at <a href="https://alog.ligo-wa.caltech.edu/aLOG/uploads/87409_20251010155332_CAL_DELTAL_PCAL.png">CAL DELTA L/PCAL</a>, so examining what our calibration would look like without TDCFs (I matched the colors with teh GDS/PCAL plot). We determined that by comparing the CAL DELTAL measurement to the GDS measurement, indeed the TDCFs are doing&nbsp;<em>something</em>&nbsp;correctly; without them on Oct 4, our uncertainty woyld be over 6%. However, they are clearly not doing a perfect job of correcting us back to model. Joe thinks that this is because the TCDF correction process may not completely account for the effect of the DARM OLG between each of the actuation TDCF measurement points. We trended what happened to kappa UIM and kappa PUM when I adjusted the L3 drivealign gain to bring kappa TST back to 1 and we see that kappa UIM dropped by 0.9% and kappa PUM by 0.4%. This is happening because the DARM OLG is changing as we adjust kappa TST, and kappa UIM and kappa PUM are seeing some frequency dependent change, but their calculation is assuming that the DARM OLG is not changing.</p> <p>In summary, the increase calibration uncertainty on Oct 4 is exactly due to the increase in kappa TST, even though the TDCFs were correcting GDS. We can can see by comparing the broadbands from Sept 27 (purple trace) and Oct 4 that at both times the TCDFs were doing an imperfect job of correcting GDS, and that scales with how large the deviation from 1 is; on Sept 27 kappa TST was about 1.02. Now that the actuation strength has been corrected, there is no need to update the calibration at this time.</p> <!--- Output file_1_87409 div --> <div id="file_1_87409" class="commentHdr"> Images attached to this report <!-- Output break div. --> <div class="break"></div> <!--- Close file_1_87409 div --> </div> <!--- Output files_1_87409 div --> <div id="files_1_87409" class="reportDetails"> <a href="https://alog.ligo-wa.caltech.edu/aLOG/uploads/87409_20251010155328_GDS_PCAL.png" target="blank"><img src="https://alog.ligo-wa.caltech.edu/aLOG/uploads/tn/tn_87409_20251010155328_GDS_PCAL.png" class="outputImg" /></a> <a href="https://alog.ligo-wa.caltech.edu/aLOG/uploads/87409_20251010155332_CAL_DELTAL_PCAL.png" target="blank"><img src="https://alog.ligo-wa.caltech.edu/aLOG/uploads/tn/tn_87409_20251010155332_CAL_DELTAL_PCAL.png" class="outputImg" /></a> <a href="https://alog.ligo-wa.caltech.edu/aLOG/uploads/87409_20251010162037_TDCF_trends.png" target="blank"><img src="https://alog.ligo-wa.caltech.edu/aLOG/uploads/tn/tn_87409_20251010162037_TDCF_trends.png" class="outputImg" /></a> <!-- Output break div. --> <div class="break"></div> <!--- Close files_1_87409 div --> </div> <!-- Output break div. --> <div class="break"></div> <!--- Output file_0_87409 div --> <div id="file_0_87409" class="commentHdr"> Non-image files attached to this report <!-- Output break div. --> <div class="break"></div> <!--- Close file_0_87409 div --> </div> <!--- Output files_0_87409 div --> <div id="files_0_87409" class="reportDetails"> <div class="uploadedImg"> <div class="uploadedFileType"><img src="https://alog.ligo-wa.caltech.edu/aLOG/images/pdf.gif" class="" /></div> <div class="uploadedFileName"><a href="https://alog.ligo-wa.caltech.edu/aLOG/uploads/87409_20251010122416_H1_calibration_report_20251010T002302Z.pdf" target="blank">H1_calibration_report_20251010T002302Z.pdf</a></div> </div> <!-- Output break div. --> <div class="break"></div> <!--- Close files_0_87409 div --> </div> <!-- Output break div. --> <div class="break"></div> https://alog.ligo-wa.caltech.edu/aLOG/index.php?callRep=87409 elenna.capote@ligo.org Fri, 10 Oct 2025 16:20:40 -0700 H1 CAL LHO General - OPS Eve Shift Start https://alog.ligo-wa.caltech.edu/aLOG/index.php?callRep=87416 <p>Author: ibrahim.abouelfettouh@ligo.org</p><p>Report ID: 87416</p><p><strong>TITLE:</strong> 10/10 Eve Shift: 2330-0500 UTC (1630-2200 PST), all times posted in UTC<br /> <strong>STATE of H1:</strong> Earthquake<br /> <strong>OUTGOING OPERATOR:</strong> Corey<br /> <strong>CURRENT ENVIRONMENT:</strong><br /> &nbsp; &nbsp; SEI_ENV state: EARTHQUAKE<br /> &nbsp; &nbsp; Wind: 31mph Gusts, 22mph 3min avg<br /> &nbsp; &nbsp; Primary useism: 0.92 &mu;m/s<br /> &nbsp; &nbsp; Secondary useism: 0.16 &mu;m/s&nbsp;<br /> <strong>QUICK SUMMARY:</strong></p> <p><strong>IFO is in INITIAL_ALIGNMENT</strong></p> <p>Recovering from an M7.6 EQ in the Drake Passage ( gap between Argentina and Antarctica).

The list of combs is the following one: <table border="1" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="6" style="border-collapse: collapse; text-align: right;"> <thead> <tr> <th>spacing (Hz)</th> <th>offset (Hz)</th> </tr> </thead> <tbody> <tr><td>29.9695138888</td><td>0</td></tr> <tr><td>99.99845486125</td><td>70.02888889</td></tr> <tr><td>99.99845679</td><td>0</td></tr> <tr><td>99.99846</td><td>29.9694</td></tr> <tr><td>99.9984722225</td><td>89.90847222</td></tr> <tr><td>99.99865</td><td>0</td></tr> <tr><td>99.99845</td><td>10.08992</td></tr> <tr><td>29.96952</td><td>520.17208</td></tr> <tr><td>29.9695211</td><td>589.9007589</td></tr> <tr><td>29.96951374</td><td>760.22840625</td></tr> </tbody> </table> As reported by Xuanye Fan in <a href="https://git.ligo.org/detchar/detchar-requests/-/issues/296">Detchar issue 296</a>, "it can be determined that the high-order harmonics disappeared on April 8, 2024, and reappeared on July 7, 2024". Hence, we have compared coherence with DARM in all the channels and the difference between July 1st and July 7th 2024. Following the findings by Xuanye, we have redone the comb time-evolution plots for all of these combs in order to check for dates where their amplitude changed. As can be seen in the plots below, there are two clear dates where changes in the behavior of the combs took place, April ~4th 2024 and July ~7th 2024. The attached plots to this post are similar to the ones generated by Fscan using FscanFineToothPlot plots, however, they have two differences: They use data from the non-normalized spectras instead of from the time average plots. Additionally, they compute the relative harmonic amplitude with respect to the median of the surrounding 1 Hz spectrogram. The attached plots confirm that there is a significant change in comb amplitude between April 4th and July 7th 2024. One clear example is shown here: <img src="https://alog.ligo-wa.caltech.edu/aLOG/uploads/87414_20251010134208_comb_999985_offset_299694_scatter_speclong.png" alt="Comb 99.9985 Hz Offset 29.9694 Hz amplitude evolution in O4 in DARM" width="1200"> We list here the channels that do show most of these Combs. These same channels do show changes in coherence between July 1st and July 7th 2024, but do not show changes in the amplitude of the combs. - H1_IMC-F_OUT_DQ - H1_LSC-MCL_IN1_DQ - H1_LSC-MICH_IN1_DQ - H1_LSC-SRCL_IN1_DQ - H1_PEM-CS_MAG_EBAY_LSCRACK_X_DQ - H1_PEM-CS_MAG_EBAY_LSCRACK_Y_DQ - H1_PEM-CS_MAG_EBAY_LSCRACK_Z_DQ - H1_PEM-CS_MAG_LVEA_INPUTOPTICS_X_DQ - H1_PEM-CS_MAG_LVEA_INPUTOPTICS_Y_DQ - H1_PEM-CS_MAG_LVEA_INPUTOPTICS_Z_DQ In most channels, the comb amplitude tends to get quite low after ~1500 Hz. The following sets of channels show differences between X, Y and Z: - H1_PEM-CS_MAG_EBAY_SUSRACK_X_DQ (Higher amplitudes and towards higher frequencies) - H1_PEM-CS_MAG_EBAY_SUSRACK_Y_DQ (Lower comb amplitudes) - H1_PEM-CS_MAG_EBAY_SUSRACK_Y_DQ (Lower comb amplitudes) Regarding CS_MAG_LVEA_OUTPUTOPTICS, these combs can be seen best in X, weaker in Y and almost non-existent in Z. (In CS_MAG_LVEA_INPUTOPTICS they look roughly the same height) - H1_PEM-CS_MAG_LVEA_OUTPUTOPTICS_X_DQ (Strongest) - H1_PEM-CS_MAG_LVEA_OUTPUTOPTICS_Y_DQ (Weaker lines) - H1_PEM-CS_MAG_LVEA_OUTPUTOPTICS_Z_DQ (Almost no lines) Same behavior at: - H1_PEM-CS_MAG_LVEA_VERTEX_X_DQ (Strongest lines) - H1_PEM-CS_MAG_LVEA_VERTEX_Y_DQ (Weaker lines) - H1_PEM-CS_MAG_LVEA_VERTEX_Z_DQ (Almost no lines) We can see that these combs mostly appear in the corner station. The combs do not appear in neither EX nor EY channels. However, comb 99.99865 Hz offset 0.000 appears in many EX, EY channels and does become more coherent after July 7th. However, it is very close to 100 Hz so it may be influenced by other round-number combs (?)
