Lightning stroke noise in the O4a

I investigated the lightning-induced glitches during the O4a, toward a conference next week.
In the Blitzortung.org database, 11 lightning strokes were recorded within 300 km of KAGRA.

The magnetometer near the BS detected all events.
In the strain data, only 2 events (180.8 km and 177.0 km) were found as glitch noises significantly larger than the background level.

I analyzed the lightning glitch noise as PEM injection tests and evaluated the magnetic coupling/projection. 

The projected magnetic noise for the normal time was order 1-2 below.

I plotted the lightning position for O4a.

filled face: found in the strain signal
unfilled face: not found in the strain signal

I compared the ambient magnetic noise in the O4b (evaluated the Hamamatsu lightning as a PEM injection) to the target sensitivity of the O4b (10Mpc) and the O5a (37Mpc) shown in JGW-G2415922 by Komori-san.

This result shows that ambient magnetic noise can be a serious noise in the O5a.
Note that this evaluation used a transient noise and was not so precise. So we need to investigate more via magnetic injection tests.

The magnetic noise projection in klog30709 was just performed for the very short-term data and the frequency resolution was bad.
So I updated this analysis:

  1. Approximate the coupling function by a smooth power-low function (Fig.1)
  2. Refer to the stable data of 30 minutes in the O4a (2023-05-28 10:00 here)
  3. Make the magnetic field ASD (4s FFT, quadratic sum of 3-axis) and approximate the sensor noise level (Fig.3)
  4. Project the magnetic field on the strain (Fig.3), for the points larger than the noise x2.
