  1. Laser Interferometer Gravitational-Wave Observatory (LIGO) Web Based PEM database development LSC 2001 August Meeting LIGO Hanford Observatory Douglass Lormand (with the help of) Joe Kovalik, Ed Daw, Szabi Márka, David Shoemaker and Peter Saulson August 14, 2001 LIGO/CalTech

  2. One of those old ideas getting done… • There is a need for • “Corporate memory” • Searchable knowledge base • Comprehensive and detailed information is necessary • Should be accessible word-wide => web based tool is ideal • Should cover every conceivable channels • Should have somebody to keep it up to date and accurate • Douglas Lormand with the help of all of us! • Excellent results exist • Information is recorded at multiple databases • E-log, DCC, Web-pages, notebooks, jars, brains … • It is difficult and time consuming to find the desired information • Sometimes it does not exist yet… WHO should obtain it?? LIGO/CalTech

  3. What do we mean? • The system should be open and easy to expand • We should include everything conceivable • From the model number to possible failure modes • It might seem obvious to the expert but it might be not so obvious for the word • Understanding of spectra, signal features and calibration is • Not trivial even for the simplest sensor • Every bit of information was obtained through hard work • The knowledge is investment we should make it easily available not just documented somewhere • Massive duplication is a waste LIGO/CalTech

  4. Example . • Observatory (LHO,LLO,…) • System (seismic, acoustic, Mode cleaner, …) • Subsystem (seismometer, tiltmeter,…) • Specifications, device properties • Full manufacturer and/or design information • Links to Application notes, Advisories, DCC • Links to external expert sites (e.g. PASSCAL) • Calibration • Factory calibration • LIGO calibration • Possible calibration problems • Calibration procedures • Installation • Placement/mounting (photo/drawing) • Rationale/performance and links to expert pages • Possible problems and cures LIGO/CalTech

  5. Example .. • Observatory (LHO,LLO,…) • System (seismic, acoustic, Mode cleaner, …) • Subsystem (seismometer, tiltmeter,…) • … • Download page • Various (e.g. High/Low noise, problem) spectra • Various formats (XML, ASCII, other ??) • Calibration templates • Useful XML templates • Single file PDF summary of the full subsection • Basic Reference spectra and histograms • Normal cases for common situations • Explanation of “features” LIGO/CalTech

  6. Example … • Observatory (LHO,LLO,…) • System (seismic, acoustic, Mode cleaner, …) • Subsystem (seismometer, tiltmeter,…) • … • Knowledge base • Spectra/histograms indicating problems • Explanation and solution of problems • Signature list (identified, unidentified) (e.g.Robert, Sergei) • Possible effect on GW channel • Can be as simple as “No problem if below…” • “Good here and bad here we are not sure between… • Predicted or modeled transfer function LIGO/CalTech

  7. Discussion • Some of the information can be static but most must be kept up to date • We intend to start with the PEM channels • We have web page and we pooled our ideas but we need your input • What else fits? • Priorities? • You have information we can use? • Would you like to help? • … http://www.ligo-la.caltech.edu/pemData.htm LIGO/CalTech
