S4 • Feb 22nd – March 23rd • Two manned shifts/day (5-21 UTC), 1 ‚expert on duty‘ 8-8UTC • Overnight SMS alarms to ‚expert on duty‘ • Locking status • DAQS (DCUs running, frame making, timing, calibration) • Temperatures • Vacuum • Instrumental duty cycle 97.5%
Calibration lines Violin modes Laser power PR, E highV, EN lowV N * 50Hz MC Turbo SR ‚Typical‘ S4 Sensitivity h [1/sqrt(Hz)]
S4 Glitchy periods within the first week
Intermediate Mass of Mounting Unit 3 probably touched coil holder frame
After ‚unstickíng‘ MU3 by rotating it
Strange sine gaussian glitches h [1/sqrt(Hz)]
Calibration of GEO600 • Time-domain calibration method • Optimization routine quasi-continuously estimates parameters of optical response • Calibration lines give known differential arm-length disturbance • These points are fit to a model • Update rate is 1Hz
optical On-line optical TF measurements P and Q CAL actuator
Calibrated EP Quadrature Signals h [1/sqrt(Hz)]
Combining hP(t) and hQ(t) – III • Create filters from noise floor estimates sQQ sPP sPQ h(t) = Pfilter{hP(t)} + Qfilter{hQ(t)}
Combining hP(t) and hQ(t) – results Get the best of hP and hQ plus a little extra! h [1/sqrt(Hz)]
Steps after S4 • PR fast autoalignment, Unity gain ~4-5Hz √ • Improve seismic long. FF & long.->IM tilt FF • Increase PR factor by changing PR mirror 1.35% -> 0.1% • Change laser, increase power to ~12W, i.e. ~5W @ MPR • Lock interferometer with ~7kW internal power
