Latest Data from the Basement Anelastic Relaxation Facility Phil Willems Jaap Weel Hanford LSC meeting, 2001
Suspensions Apparatus Automated fiber pulling lathe Q-measurement rig LIGO R&D
Mode frequencies well fit by uniform model • Measured data • Fit of model to data LIGO R&D
Independent Measurement of Dilution Factor For violin mode of fiber at thermoelastic strain point, (df/dT)/f=(dE/dT)/2ED where D is the dilution factor. LIGO R&D
Measured vs. Predicted Dilution Factors • Measured data • Prediction (df/dT)/f=(dE/dT)/2ED LIGO R&D
Ringdown of 1st Harmonic f=1561 Hz Q=4.2e8 LIGO R&D
Measured Q’s, very preliminary • Measured data • Model with NTE • Model without NTE LIGO R&D
