check of hrec peaks during a period with high B1p power

Michal pointed out that last Sunday (Dec 17) there was mistuning of the relative curvature of the north and west arm: https://logbook.virgo-gw.eu/virgo/?r=62766.
Due to this between 15:00 and 18:00 UTC the B1p power was higher by about a factor 2, and many lines became much higher in DARM (Figure 1).
These lines might be related to some mechanical resonances on the detection side (if it is scattered light related) or to the injection side (if it is frequency noise related).

Most of the peaks had indeed been already observed, as reported in https://logbook.virgo-gw.eu/virgo/?r=62730, many peaks have also been excited with environmental actions (tappings: https://logbook.virgo-gw.eu/virgo/?r=61929 , https://logbook.virgo-gw.eu/virgo/?r=62172  and https://logbook.virgo-gw.eu/virgo/?r=62759).

The fact that peaks are excited with tappings on the vacuum chambers and moreover that some are coherent with accelerometers attached to the chamber, suggests that these peaks are mechanical modes of the chamber itself or of objects attached to the chamber (like e.g. baffles) which happen to back scatter some light.

This table lists all these peaks and summarizes some info. See also this table: https://logbook.virgo-gw.eu/virgo/uploads/62172_1697216708_tabella_tappings.png

Attached figures 2 to 4 show the observed coherence.

The impact of the peaks listed in this entry changed a lot during the night. Fig 1 shows the slow variation of BNS range, which passed from 46 Mpc to more than 50 Mpc. Comparing the data in the two opposite conditions, one can see in hrec a small change in the floor and a huge change in the peaks (fig 3).

These peaks have been added to the lines DB, tagged as "preO4".
