Comment to Modification of the state requesting OBSERVATION to VIS guardians (34024)
Though this update has no problem in lockloss-relock cycles, it makes non-uniqueness in each state with state transition between OBSERVATION and OBSERVATION_WITHOUT_LINES. Detailed state transition map is shown in Fig.1.

Requesting OBSERVATION to VIS guardians except ETMX was moved from ENGAGE_SUS_LINES to ENGAGE_WHITENING_FILTERS. But requesting LOW_NOISE to VIS guardians was still in DISENGAGE_SUS_LINES. For this reason, states of VIS guardians depend on the transition history of LSC_LOCK guardian. For removing this problem, we need to remove LOW_NOISE requests to VIS guardians except ETMX from DISENGAGE_SUS_LINES.

It probably occurrs only when we did the calibration measurements. So it's not so an urgent bug. But it's better to fix it until next calibration measurements in order to reduce human mistakes in the updates of calibration.

On today's calibration work (klog#34090), we requested OBSERVATION to VIS guardians manually for going back to OBSERVATION without guardian modification. A same issue should be occur in the morning calibration measurements (I haven't found a repot yet). It's better to check there is no wrong acceptance of SDF during the morning activities or not.

Comment to Weekly calibration on June 6 (34090)

After the calibration parameter updates, we confirmed only changes are foton filters for optical gain and actuator efficiencies (Fig.1) and SDF tables (Fig.2-3) for pcal beam position (klog#34095) and line tracking (klog#34096) parameters.

There is no update in guardians (Fig.4) and models (Fig.5), so we skipped the check with lockloss-relock cycles by guardian. After then, we raised CFC_LATCH in order to move from CALIB_NOT_READY to READY.

Comment to Blasting of Tunnel construction unlocked IFO (33601)

Here is a update of the 7 blasting between 2025/05/30 18:10:00 UTC and 2025/06/05 13:26:35 UTC.

  • no time: the interferometer survived the blasting at OBSERVATION state
    • suvival ratio: 0% = 0/7
  • 6 times: lockloss occurred from OBSERVATION state
    • The amplitude of the seismic motion was large enough to make the lockloss.
    • The bomb size were 25.2, 39.6, 28.4, 26.8, 27.2, 20.2. The plots are available at DAC wiki.
  • 1 times: interferometer was not in observation state.

Note that sometimes the reported time and blasting execution time are different. In maximum, the blasting happened 4 minutes earlier than the reported time.

Air compressor still in the operation near the IXC

[Kimura]

 Technical staff reported that the air compressor next to the IXC (see attached photo) is in operating condition.
Since the temperature around the IXC will change if it is stopped, we discussed the matter with Ushiba-san and decided to leave it as it is until next week.
 We need to discuss about stopping the air compressor early next week.

Check the 1st violin peaks before and afte cooling down
[Dan, Yokozawa]

We checked the shapes of 1st violin peaks before and after the cooling down the payload.
(Calibration accuracy of the 4/26 was unclear..., so this is just the comparison)

Before cooling (Blue, 4/26 12:00 UTC)
IX 91.8 K
IY 91.0 K
EX 84.5 K
EY 81.2 K

After cooling (Red, 6/5 16:00 UTC)
IX 90.1 K
IY 43.1 K
EX 43.2 K
EY 59.2 K

I can see several peaks became something narrow, but we need to investigate more (Fitting and/or ring down measurements?)

Note : the identification of violin peaks

lockloss investigation: 2025/06/05~06/06

I performed the lockloss investigation for the recent lockloss from the OBSERVATION state of the LSC_LOCK guardian, between 2025-06-05 01:22:05.687500 UTC and 2025-06-06 01:49:44.812500 UTC. The previous lockloss investigation was posted in klog34073. During this period, there were 10 lockloss from the OBSERVATION state. The plots are listed in DAC wiki.

    1~10Hz seismic motion made the IMC lockloss

    For 4 lockloss, we saw the excess of the seismic motion with 1~10 Hz, which made the oscillation of the IMC length control and caused the IMC lockloss.

    • 2025-06-05 13:26:37.312500 UTC (2399s)
    • 2025-06-05 14:52:34.562500 UTC (2889s)
    • 2025-06-05 21:01:22.062500 UTC (925s)
    • 2025-06-06 01:21:00.312500 UTC (4432s)

    Excess of OMC DCPD and coincidence with ETMY MN oplev transient

    For 1 lockloss, we saw the excess of OMC DCPD (K1:OMC-TRANS_DC_SUM_OUT_DQ and K1:OMC-TRANS_DC_{A, B}_IN1_DQ) from -10 s, as shown in Figure 1. We are not sure the origin of this excess.

    Separately, Figure 2 shows the excess of OMMT2 TRANS at -23, 19, and -5 s. These excess has a coincidence with the transient behavior of K1:VIS-ETMY_MN_OPLEV_TILT_SUM_OUT_DQ. 

    Memo1: Transient of ITMY and ETMY MN oplev sum

    Note that this will not be related to the lockloss.
    Figure 3 shows the oplev sum of ITMY and ETMY over a four hours. Sometimes we can see the transient behavior in the oplev sum of ETMY MN. It has a coincidence with the OMMT2 TRANS, as shown in Figure 4. And also, we can see the transient shift of the oplev sum of ITMY MN. As I heard from Yokozawa-san, this seems to be a mode hop.

    The duty cycle of June 5 was 71 %.

    Comment to Scattered light noise in MICH error and feedback channels (34086)
    We checked several signals related with around MICH.
    And I found when the oscillation of the SR2 TM Y became more than +/- 2urad, this scattered light happened as shown in Fig.1.,
    The threshold(+/- 2urad) exceeded around 2nd June. and when the oscillation became relatively smaller, the scattered light noise at MICH also became smaller.
    And actually, the oscillation of the SR2 yaw was about 0.2 Hz.

    We don't know the noise path from SR2 to MICH scattered light, the reason of scattered light may come from the SR2 yaw oscillation.

    Scattered light noise in MICH error and feedback channels

    [Shih-Hong, Yuzurihara]

    As a continuous analysis of klog34029, we checked the Gauch page and found the MICH channel shows the non-Gaussian behavior in 10~20 Hz. Figure 1 shows an example of the Gauch. This phenomenon began on 6/2 at 14:00 UTC (Gauch).

    Figures 2~4 show today's sensitivity and noise projection from MICH. The spectral shape of the sensitivity around 15 Hz is similar to the MICH shape.

    In the summary page, you can see the time variation of the MICH spectrum. (This shoulder-ish shape looks like the scattered light noise.)

    Figure 5 shows the Q-spectrogram (by Pastavi) of the MICH error signal. This noise is a scattered light noise. By rough eye check, the frequency of the scattered object seems to be 0.2 Hz. (= ~12 period/60 s)

    Yokozawa-san will report his continuous analysis.

    Isolate a TMP without the interlock circuit at Yend
    2025/06/06

    Sawada, Takahashi, Uchiyama

    We closed the GV between TMP(#36) and the T-shape duct to isolate TMP from the vacuum system. Since this TMP does not have the interlock system, it could cause serious trouble.
    On the other hand, we did not want to change the temperature condition in the Yend area, so we decided not to stop the TMP and to close the GV to separate the TMP from the IFO.

    lockloss investigation: 2025/06/04~06/05

    I performed the lockloss investigation for the recent lockloss from the OBSERVATION state of the LSC_LOCK guardian, between 2025-06-04 06:24:36.937500 UTC and 2025-06-05 00:44:39.437500 UTC. The previous lockloss investigation was posted in klog34054. During this period, there were 6 lockloss from the OBSERVATION state. The plots are listed in DAC wiki.

      1~10Hz seismic motion made the IMC lockloss

      For 2 lockloss, we saw the excess of the seismic motion with 1~10 Hz, which made the oscillation of the IMC length control and caused the IMC lockloss.

      • 2025-06-04 10:35:49.562500 UTC
      • 2025-06-05 00:44:39.437500 UTC

      From my experience, their cause seems to be blasting. I will wait for the report on the actual blasting execution time.

      Long-term stability of alignment

      Thanks to the modification of the BPC for ETMY pitch (klog34016) on June 2, the lock duration is now longer and more stable. I focused on the drift of the alignment control, such as ASC or BPC.

      Figure 1 shows the BPC error and feedback signals. It takes 2 hours to reach an equilibrium of BPC for PRM YAW. It takes 30 minutes to reach an equilibrium of BPC for ITMX YAW. Figure 2 shows the oplev signals. The amount of shifting the PRM seems ~2 urad.
      Except for this, I didn't see a significant drift of the alignment control (ASC and BPC).

      Oscillation of ASC control

      Figure 3 shows the oscillation of IR trans and DHARD_P at -1 min. Coincidentally, we can see the excess of OMMT2 TRANS. This oscillation can be seen in other ASC and BPC (Figures 4 and 5).

      Memo

      Figure 6 shows the duty cycle on June 3 and June 4. They were 76% and 71%, respectively.
