Regarding the 270 Hz peak which seems to be present on DARM since the Laser room to SIB2 room door and cleanroom to SIB2 door have been opened. We can clearly see it on the
the Beam Pointing control system signals (see attached plot). We could not see any excess of accoustic noise at that frequency but there is a slight effect on the seismic noise measured with the accelerometer on top of the EIB which suggest that a resonance of a mount (maybe EIB_M6 one) could be excited (see entry https://logbook.virgo-gw.eu/virgo/?r=38640).
The strange thing is that the excess of noise read by the BPC quadrants is very small and we are not expecting any limitation from input beam jitter noise at that level when looking at the last noise projection we made on the 13th of september (https://logbook.virgo-gw.eu/virgo/?r=39459). At that time, we injected a large boradband noise without being able to see any coherence for frequencies higher than 100Hz.
Maybe this noise comes from the CB clean rooms and couple the ITF through PRCL (SIB2 PDs)?
We plan to make more investigations next week on that issue trying to understand it better and solve it.
The alignment has been improved changing the set point of some quadrants. The tuning has been effective for coming back close to 30 Mpc. The 270 Hz peak is still there but slightly lower.
A good control filter has been found for DIFFp_TX. This works fine in the present quiet conditions, but probably is not the best one when the seismic noise is high. Anyway, the accuracy we got tonight is the best ever achieved.

because of some mistake/typo we had to change a parameter in the INJ_MAIN.ini file, using the "LOAD" button on the client was not enough I had to stop & start the INJ_MAIN metatron node to make the modification effective.

trying to rise up the laser lab temperature that after the problem of the air conditioning system is decreased of 1 degree at around 12:00UTC I closed half door between the laser lab and the SIB2 room, up to now the action seems to not have a big effect (see plot).
We found that the TX and TZ dampers of suspension filter 7 are injecting control (sensing) noise on DARM between 2 and 6 Hz. This is evident only since DARM has been improved in that region due to the mitigation of PR_MAR_TX control noise. The largest contribution comes from WI. The marker of that is the presence of two narrow peaks around 3 Hz in WI_F7 sensing, which are well visible in DARM and disappear (together with some broadband noise) when the dampers are turned off. DARM improves more when the dampers of all the suspensions are turned off (Fig. 1). A precise noise budget of each d.o.f. has not been done.
We tested a lock acquisition with all the dampers switched off at the beginning, but some oscillation started to grow up when the dark fringe was reached. We moved the disabling of the dampers just before the end of the locking procedure, and we saw no bad effec for a few hours. But later in the night the NE payload got excited, mainly at 0.4 Hz along the transversal axis, and the effect was visible in the sensitivity at low frequency. It would be interesting to make some specific test in order to understand the coupling mechanism, and if it is present on all the suspension or only on NE.
Tonight I'm going to leave the ITF with all the dampers disabled except NE, in order to see if some other slow growing of resonances shows up.
The first plot compares the best reference from last week (when the 270 peaks were very low) to the current typical noise floor and to the two bench misalignments (TX, TY). In one of the misaligned state (TY), the 270 peak height increased as if it was driven by the beam jitter. But we didn't observe the same increase for the other misalignments - TX or TY.
The second plot shows the response to excitations from 100 to 400 Hz. A different set of peaks was excited while the height of 270 peaks remains unaffected. This would mean that we are not only looking at OMC beam jitter coupling, but also at some other noise coupling that gets affected by the global alignment (by moving SDB1, we are also moving the beam on SDB2, which has QPDs used for common arm alignment).
Furthermore, the DARM coherence with PRCL at 270 Hz is high according to BRUCO (see third plot). This makes us suspect that the peak is actually from frequency noise coupling, and it gets modulated by the global alignment.
The 270 peak was persistently in the DARM spectrum starting from September 15. Prior to this date, there were several days when the best spectrum of the day didn't have the peak. Coincidentally, the injection lab AC status changed on September 14.
During the same shift, we tried to see if SPRB alignment had an effect on the peaks, but scanning the full SPRB_B4_112 and LSC_B4_DC ranges didn't modulated the 270 peak.
The decreasing of the IMC transmitted power is probably a consequence of the decreasing of the pre-mode cleaner transmitted power, due to a misalignment of the cavity linked to the temperature.
The problem of fModErr loop has been fixed yesterday evening. Now GIPC can be used without affecting fModErr.
Following up the tests performed on Sept 5th (39382), this morning the vacuum team worked on B1 mini-link aiming to dump its mechanical vibrations. Each of the two bellows has been wrapped with one layer of silicon rubber (2mm thick) placed in contact with the pipe and on top of it one layer of lead (1mm thick sheet) the whole gently tightened with a metal strip, see pictures 1 (before) and 2 (after).
With one mini-accelerometer sticked to the pipe (sensing in the direction perpendicular to the pipe axis) we measured the mechanical effect of this installation, the plots refer to quiet noise condition:
- before (blue line in Figure 3) the first mode of the link was around 51Hz, after it moved a bit down at around 44Hz and it reduced in amplitude (Fig. 3 purple line)
- other peaks around 84Hz, 255Hz (triplet) and 405 (doublet) Hz are no more visible in the quiet vibration spectrum (see also Figure 4 and Fig 5, for zoom in)
We also tried tapping the link before and after the istallation: while before the tapping immediately excited one resonant mode seen by the GEO on SDB2 F0 (Figure 6) in particular a resonance at 52Hz which occasionally happened to match the pipe resonance (as foreseen by A.Bertolini in 39397) eventually saturating the geophone signals, in the new configuration the resulting excitation of the suspension measured by the geophones is less pronounced and did not saturate (Figure 7). However this test was better repeated with the ITF locked, as described in 39547.
Finally, we also measured the resonant modes of the other pipes, for characterization purposes (that is we sticked the mini-acc on each one in turn and measured a quiet spectrum). We annotate the frequency of the first mode:
- B1p pipe (Figure 8): 30 Hz
- HS beam pipe (Fig. 9): 24 Hz
- B5 pipe (Fig. 10): 45 Hz
In Figs 1 and 2 is shown that starting from the time when the pressure probe broke down (PRES_OUT channel) and the fan speed (FREQ_OUT channel) increased at the maximum value, the INJ system started to have a lot of unlocks (IMC_TRA_DC channel). The origin of the problem was not immediately recognized as an ACS problem, because the lab temperature remained constant (LLR_TE channel). This caused problems during the Thursday 14th afternoon shift. I will suggest to the ACS referent person some improvements in the alarms criteria such that the DMS can recognize and alert on similar kind of plant failures.
Concerning the effect of a different working point of the temperature in the Laser Lab after the workaround, in Fig3 is reported a longer trend of IMC power, were it is possible that it decreased as consequence of the ACS failure.
Today, after the damping of the N-3 link tube done by Vac team (it will be reported in another dedicated entry), we repeated tapping tests while interferometere was locked.
We did not have the same problems reported in entry 39373 (SDB2 out of control and interferometer unlocked due to SDB2 IP Geophones saturation), so the work done on the link is an improvement.
We report the GPS time (UTC) of the tapping tests, with some brief comments.

This morning I found ITF locked in LOW_NOISE_3 with Horizon ~22MPc.
The Horizon went down in according with the increase in sea activity of this night (see plot). This is a consequence of test of yesterday evening (F7 dampers opened on WI and NI). V.Boschi provide to reclose them at 07:45UTC.
At 08:12UTC I unlocked ITF in according with starting of tapping test around SDB2 and SDB1. In order to allow this activity, I open the SDB2_LC and SDB2_SBE loops.
At 10:10UTC, first part of tapping test, with ITF unlocked, finished, so I closed the SDB2 loops and relocked the ITF (LOW_NOISE_3 at 10:29UTC).
After lunch, work in DET lab continued until 13:00UTC with ITF locked.
After that, activities of afternoon shift (ASC) started.
HVAC
08:14UTC-10:10UTC & 12:14UTC-13:05UTC
In order to allow the work of people inside the DET lab I switched the conditioning system from PR "Portata Ridotta" (Lowered Flow Rate) to PN "portata nominale" (Nominal Flow Rate).
VPM
InfraMoni stopped and restarted at 09:27UTC, under request of I.Fiori I added two flags to monitor the air conditioning flux in DET Lab (HVAC_DET_DLAB_FLUX_IN, HVAC_DET_DLAB_FLUX_OUT).
In different occasions, Benoit suggested to use a modulation frequency of 18 MHz to improve the SNR of the locking and alignment signals.
One of the objections raised was that the 18 MHz sideband may be as sensitive to aberrations as the 6 MHz.
For this reason, simulations have been performed, scanning the PR RoC and looking at the gain for sidebands at different modulation frequencies.
The results are plotted in Fig. 1 (All modes) and Fig. 2 (TEM00 mode). As it can be seen, indeed the 18 MHz shows a large sensitivity to aberrations and it seems there would be no gain in using such modulation frequency.
As mentioned in this operator report on Friday 15th we were forced to switch off the air conditioning system of the INJ area due to a failure.
Here we report a few details on the failure and a check of related side effects.
The sequence of the failure is the following (Fig1 and zoom in Fig2, red plots):
- on Thursday 14th at 14:15 UTC a pressure sensor broke down (channel INJ_PRES_OUT) and its value dropped to 0;
- this triggered the correction of the pressure loop to increase from ~10% to the maximum value (100%);
- this required the increase of the output fan speed (channel INJ_FREQ_OUT) from ~22Hz to 60Hz to increase the air flux (channel INJ_FLUX_OUT) and pressure;
- this stressed the air ducts that started to leak along a few joints;
- the maximum speed was enough to compensate the leakages and keep the system at the nominal temperatures, so the failure was not immediately spotted;
- the day after (Fri 15th) the problem was detected due to the fact that the leakages and the maximum speed were producing disturbances to the operation of the INJ system.
- during the morning of Fri 15th a temporary repair (also with an external firm) of the most evident leaks was attempted, but not sufficient because other leaks are present further down on the air ducts, some of them in areas not easily accessible. Once it appeared evident that the repair is complicated and time consuming, on the late morning the system was switched off (because it was producing too many IMC unlocks).
- on Friday afternoon a temporary solution was adopted to cope with this issue: at 15:30 UTC the INJ lab was put in communication (by opening a door) with the CEB Clean Rooms to take advantage of its air conditioning system that is independent and in operation. We are still in this configuration that seems enough to avoid downtimes and ensure the scheduled commissioning activities.
Looking at Figs 1 and 2 it's evident that the stress generated on the air ducts by staying at fans maximum speed it's not to be considered anomalous because when in nominal flux condition (channel INJ_MODE_SET value set from 2 to 1) the speed of the fan is comparable. In Fig3 it can be seen that the fan speed, when in nominal state, is at ~50Hz (sept 2016) or ~55Hz (sept2015), not much lower with respect to the maximum one (60Hz), occurred at the time of the failure.
We think that this accident has simply accelerated a latent problem on the ducts that need to be fully investigated.
In Figs 4 and 5 are reported trends of a few signals were it is possible to see that the temporary solution above described is ensuring acceptable values of temperature fluctuations (although around another working point), humidity, dust contamination (Fig5) and environmental noise. In some frequency ranges the noise is a bit higher, in others (example in Figs 6 and 7) it seems even lower.
Concerning the dust contamination we have to check the situation when people are working in the laser lab; however if the workaround solution has to last for several days, we can bring a portable air blower (currently in TCS room) in the laser lab and switch on it when persons are working there.
Futher checks and inspection of the ducts are planned for the next Tuesday morning maintenance .
In Figs 1 and 2 is shown that starting from the time when the pressure probe broke down (PRES_OUT channel) and the fan speed (FREQ_OUT channel) increased at the maximum value, the INJ system started to have a lot of unlocks (IMC_TRA_DC channel). The origin of the problem was not immediately recognized as an ACS problem, because the lab temperature remained constant (LLR_TE channel). This caused problems during the Thursday 14th afternoon shift. I will suggest to the ACS referent person some improvements in the alarms criteria such that the DMS can recognize and alert on similar kind of plant failures.
Concerning the effect of a different working point of the temperature in the Laser Lab after the workaround, in Fig3 is reported a longer trend of IMC power, were it is possible that it decreased as consequence of the ACS failure.
The decreasing of the IMC transmitted power is probably a consequence of the decreasing of the pre-mode cleaner transmitted power, due to a misalignment of the cavity linked to the temperature.

5) North link - 3 (118855404), huge effect, large shoulder up to 400 Hz
The NB plots lead to the conclusion that scattered light form the SDB2 bench is fed back to the detector when exciting the B1 mini link.
Since the 20170920 there is(first plot):
- some jumps on the latency on at FbmFE level
- and some holes in the data streams
At 20170921-13h55UTC I 've restarted all the Fbs servers, this fixed the holes problems only.
Looking more deeply on the latency Daq channels it apperars that the latency jumps was triggered by the SMS collection of the EarlyWarning servers done by the FbsMoni server(2nd plots).
I stopped and restarted by hand the EarlyWarning server at 20170927-19h39UTC without any improvements. According the logfiles the EarlyWarning server was restarted again at 20h55UTC and after that there is no more jumps in the FbsMoni latency (3rd plot)
Below is the list of actions performed during the shift of yesterday afternoon (Sep 20). All measurements were taken in low noise 3.
1/ Angular noise injections on SDB1, with bench at "nominal" position:
A first set of low frequency noise injections though the SDB1 actuators was performed while the bench was at its so-called "nominal" position, that is to say the angular position given by the B5 beam drift control, which roughly corresponded to the set point TX = -410 urad and TY = -3559 urad. The list of injections is reported in the table below.

The first plot compares the best reference from last week (when the 270 peaks were very low) to the current typical noise floor and to the two bench misalignments (TX, TY). In one of the misaligned state (TY), the 270 peak height increased as if it was driven by the beam jitter. But we didn't observe the same increase for the other misalignments - TX or TY.

The 270 peak was persistently in the DARM spectrum starting from September 15. Prior to this date, there were several days when the best spectrum of the day didn't have the peak. Coincidentally, the injection lab AC status changed on September 14.
During the same shift, we tried to see if SPRB alignment had an effect on the peaks, but scanning the full SPRB_B4_112 and LSC_B4_DC ranges didn't modulated the 270 peak.

At that time, we injected a large boradband noise without being able to see any coherence for frequencies higher than 100Hz.
Maybe this noise comes from the CB clean rooms and couple the ITF through PRCL (SIB2 PDs)?
We plan to make more investigations next week on that issue trying to understand it better and solve it.
This morning we added a mechanical structure to the pipe linking the PR tower to the SPRB minitower with the aim to make it more stiff and possibly increase the frequency of its first modes.
The structure consists of a 'strong' leg bolted to the PR tower base and to the link pipe itself, and it mainly acts in the vertical direction (see attachements 1,2 and 3).
It can be removed when necessary. Note that the sand bag added on Sept 5th was left unchanged.
We then performed a tapping of the pipe structure (ITF unlocked) to check the mechanical modes.
Tapping along the radial directions (X and Y) excite mostly frequencies above 300Hz, while tapping along the beam direction (Z) excites mainly one mode around 200Hz (see attachements 4, 5 and 6).
Overall the machanical response of the pipe seems improved with respect to before: the tests done on May 23 showed radial mechanical modes of the pipe around 55Hz and 60Hz which also showed up in Z.
Presently the first modes look shifted up in frequencies and better dumped. The quiet spectra (last attachement) show a peak at 60Hz that moved to about 70Hz with reduced amplitude (X) and a peak at about 55Hz that moved to about 80Hz also with reduced amplitude (Y and Z).
Note that this comparison also includes the sand bag, more analysis to be done to disentangle the effect. Effects on Hrec and B4 beam to be checked.

Upon arrival I found ITF Locked in Low_Noise_3 with Horizon ~30 Mpc.
At 06:30 UTC I set ITF in Commissioning Mode.
From 06:30 to 08:46 UTC the planned Magnetic Injections in MC Building, carried out by Fiori and Cirone, went on without problems.
Upon concluded ITF unlocked and the following activities were performed:
- Planned SPRB stiffening (carried out by Vacuum crew).
- Cleaning of the new NI marionette in Cleaning Lab (carried out by M. Ciardelli, F. Gherardini and Roma1 team).
- Infrastructure checks and measurements (carried out by A. Paoli and A. Buggiani).
- SR / SPRB hardware installation (carried out by V. Dattilo, R. Passaquieti and V. Boschi). For this activity Boschi opened SPRB and SR Local Controls.
- Pillant went in atrium (LL) for a check.
All these morning activities are concluded at 09:45 UTC except for the SR / SPRB hardware installation that required the replacement of a board on SR Rack. It has been replaced and restarted only at 12:45 UTC.
ITF relocked at second attempt at 13:00 UTC with Horizon ~29 Mpc.
The planned activity on tapping test on SPRB with three new accelerometers has been postponed for tomorrow morning. People involved I. Fiori and A. Chiummo.
DMS - Infrastructure
At 06:20 UTC, under request of D. Soldani, I changed the threshold of the INF_TB_CW_TANK_TE (Infrastructures -> ACS_TB) from 5 to 4 degrees. InfraMoniAlarmed properly restarted from VPM.
at Sep 21 14:37:31 LT the rtpc5 ntp daemon was restarted to use ntp server ntp2.inrim.it instead of : ntp.obspm.fr previously , the goal is to have 2 rtpcs using the same ntp server:
- channel LNFS_NTP_delta_gps on rtpc6 with the ntp server: ntp2.inrim.it, ACL server: LNFS_ntp
- channel SDB2_NTP_delta_gps on rtpc5 with the ntp server: ntp2.inrim.it, ACL server: SDB2_ntp
Apparently the injected lines are not visible in Hrec and so We will probably get only an upper limit for the magnetic projection.

After the adjustment of POP set point performed on Sep 08, the position of the beam on B4 camera has never checked anymore. Today we found the beam out of the standard position on the camera. We put it back moving the POP about in the position it was before the adjustment of Sep 08 (Sc_PR_F7_TY = - 112).
An undesired side effect of GIPC has been the disabling of fModErr loop (the tidal control of common arm length which keeps MC length tuned on the modulation frequency). This means that since a few days we are working with fModErr slightly mistuned. It cannot be excluded some impact of this defect on the sensitivity. The bug will be fixed as soon as possible.
