Thermal noise calculations:
 - Calculations are based on kagra_sensitivity.py but modified for O4 (kagra_O4_sensitivity.py).
 - Following parameters were used.
 TM temperature: 260 K (estimated from IM temperature)
 IM temperature: 260 K (measured)
 Sapphire blade spring frequency: 25 Hz (eyball fitted to align with the peaks)
 Sapphire blade spring loss: 3.6e-05 (see JGW-G1910180)
 Sapphire fiber loss: 1.0e-04 (see klog #26113)
 TM Q value: 1.0e+06 (see JGW-L2315445)

 - Sapphire parameters were extracted from arXiv:2005.0557. If temperature is below 100 K, default fitting equations are used.
    kappa20=(15700./15880)*((5*Tm**2.75)**(-4./5)+(10**10.25*Tm**(-3.8))**(-4./5))**(-5./4) #thermal conductivity
    Cth20=(0.69/0.80)*Tm**3.14/3.8/rhom  #specific heat per unit mass
    alpha20=(5.6/5.496)*Tm**2.99/10**12.15  #thermal linear expansion
 - For temperatures above 100 K, data in arXiv:2005.0557 was interpolated. See Attachemnt #2 for the data, fitting function, and interpolated curve.
 - Now kagra_O4_sensitivity.py can calculate thermal noise at any temperature.

Quantum noise calculations:
 - Calculations are based on kagra_sensitivity.py but modified for O4 (kagra_O4_sensitivity.py).
 - Following parameters were used.
 Power at BS: 19.60 W  (1.4 W input times PRG of 14; assuming all the power from IMC couples to the IFO)
 IFO to PD loss: 18 %  (Rough estimate; see below)

 - IFO to PD loss was estimated from the sum of the following losses
    OFI: 5% [JGW-G1809012, OFI wiki]
    OSTM: 0.89% [klog #30229]
    OMC: 5% [klog #30229]
    DC PD: 7% [From spec quantum efficiency of Excelitas C30665GH]
 - This is also consistent with klog #21397 with in the error bar.
 - Measured sensitivity is roughly 50% higher than the calculated shot noise at 1 kHz.

PD dark noise:
 - To see if shot noise calculations are correct, measured DC PD spectra are compared with dark noise measured in klog #31616 and shot noise calculated from K1:OMC-TRANS_DC_(A|B)_OUT_DQ, which is calibrated in mW.
 - See Attachment #3 for the spectra. Attachment #4 is the zoomed version.
 - A and B are unbalanced by 3%. A=7.4 mW B=7.6 mW.
 - Shot noise was calculated with P_shot = sqrt(2*h*nu*P_PD/eta) where eta=0.93 is the quantum efficiency.
 - Measured spectrum is 14% higher for A and 7% higher for B than shot+dark spectrum at 1 kHz.
 - Measured spectrum is 35% higher for A and 33% higher for B than shot noise at 1 kHz. This is not so consistent with 50% from quantum noise calculations.
 - If we believe in the DC PD power based calculations here, IFO to PD loss is estimated to be ~40%.
 - This sounds a bit too large, but there might be large misaglinment to OMC. If this is not the case, this could mean that there is error in K1:CAL-CS_PROC_DARM_DISPLACEMENT_DQ by ~20%, or there are some underlying additional noise that increases the noise at 1 kHz by ~20%, as indicated from AxB correlation measurements (klog #31577). Note that error in DC PD calibration into mW is not relevant for explaining the descrepancy.
 - See Attachment #5 for the dark noise contributions to DARM.

Next:
 - Check mode-matching of the beam into PRM.
 - Check OMC alignment.
 - Measure total optical loss from BS to PD using ITM single bounce.
 - Check DC PD A and B calbrations. The calibration factors in FM8 of K1:OMC-TRANS_DC_(A|B) seem to be the same, but A and B might be different, as indicated by 7.4 mW and 7.6 mW unbalance.
 - Check DARM calibration.

[Komori, Michimura]

To summarize, the discrepancies observed can be explained as follows.

For the PD plot (DCPD power-based shot + dark vs. measurement with ~10% discrepancy):
 - Presence of additional noise just below the current measurement (frequency noise is likely; Currently, out-of-loop CARM sensor PD3 receives 0.6 mW and is limited by dark noise. Typically RFPD has dark noise equivalent to 10 mW shot noise, so actual frequency noise contribution could be 1/4 of the green sprectrum in this plot in klog #31719, and this can explain 10% discrepancy)
 - Mis-calibration of the DC PD to mW (only square root dependence)
 - PD quantum efficiency eta=0.93 is wrong (only square root dependence)

For the displacement plot (IFO parameter-based shot + dark vs. measurement with ~20% discrepancy):
 - IFO to the PD loss is more than 15% (likely due to OMC alignment etc.)
 - Incorrect calibration of PROC_DARM_DISPLACEMENT to meters
 - Not all of the Pin=1.4 W couples to the IFO
