scattered light evidence in B7_DC and B8_DC

Typical arches are visible in the spectrograms of both B7 and B8_DC, they look uncorrelated between the two. The periodicity of arches looks around 10s.

At WE there is evidence of double arches, and also the scattered light pattern looks modulated by a 78.6Hz line .... which is not in ENV channels.

Scattered light glitches as seen by Omicron in B8.

In this spectrogram, arches are well resolved. The periodicity is ~1.4 s. The SNR is huge : several hundreds. As noted in the previous post, we see secondary arches and some echo around the ~80 Hz line. All channels processed by Omicron were checked. These arches are only seen in LSC_B8_6MHz_I with a much weaker intensity.

Similar arches were observed in the B7 signal.

The arches (at least in these case) are clearly due to relative motion of SWEB with regard to the WE mirror
Shown are the arches and the absolute value of the speed, measured with V1:SWEB_LC_Z + V1:Sc_WE_MIR_Z.
See figure.

The question is whether these arches couple to DARM. And if yes, then it would be good argument to turn on the control of SWEB in Z using the ground subtracted local controls, and see if it helps.

No, there is no evidence of B7/B8 arches coupling to DARM.

The only coupling I identified is scattered light in LSC_B4_DC also seen in LSC_MICH_ERR.
