  1. The status report of the AURIGA detector Luca Taffarello (INFN Sezione di Padova ) Special tanks to L. Conti and G. Vedovato Luca Taffarello

  2. Summary of the talk: • New detector set-up • First Results, calibration and thermal behaviour BUT evidence of noise peaks • External excitation to identify the input ports to avoid the noise (mechanical excitation @ low frequencies) • Strategy to overcome the disturbances • Definition of epoch vetoes in A.D. througt thresold identification • New dampers and pneumatic isolation system @ low frequencies • Result achieve • Good data in nigth and week end (2° Dec 2004-18° May 2005) • Very stable and gaussian behaviour (from 19 May 2005) Luca Taffarello

  3. Expected target AURIGA II run with 1999-2003 upgrades new mechanical suspensions: attenuation > 360 dB at 1 kHz FEM modelled new capacitive transducer: two-modes (1 mechanical+1 electrical) optimized mass new amplifier: double stage SQUID 200 henergy resolution new data analysis: C++ object oriented code frame data format Luca Taffarello

  4. Setting @ T = 4.5K = experimental. data = simulation Evidence of spurious peaks in the bandwidth immediatly is started a diagnostic phase to address the spurious features in the noise spectra Best quiet period December 2003 Luca Taffarello

  5. n=865.68 Hz ‚n=914.14 Hz First step: Calibration of the 3 sensitives modes The thermal behaviour of the modes is estimates by the measurement of the real part of the input impedence to the SQUID a 4.5 K ‚  ƒ ƒn=955.63 Hz T= 4.5 K E bias=7.5 MV/m Not evident lost of charge This is thermal Luca Taffarello

  6. 2 Step: THE MECHANICAL TRANSFER FUNCTION • mechanical mode near the switch • Electrome-chanical modes • Mechanical modes of the charge plates ƒ  ‚ VERY IMPORTANT not evident excitation with mechanical and-or electromagnetic actuators Luca Taffarello

  7. Complete control of the internal sources of noise (Note: one-sided spectra !) December 2004 after the first up-grading detector up the rubber Luca Taffarello

  8. Strategy to cope the spurious peaks • Identification of noise sources: noise hunting • Definition of the possible hardware solutions: 2 steps • Rubber dissipation layer below the cryostat (roll-off frequency 8-10 Hz Q=2) • Active-air mount (Vibraplane KS) automatic leveling/heigth control low vertical natural frequency and orizontal isolation 1-2 Hz internal damping Q=2 and broad load range) Very important parameter the Q factor to avoid other nolinear-coupling where the seismic power is higher and the movement of the cryostat can generate dangerous mechanical stress in the detector • Decision to maintain on air the detector because from the analysis data is possible to understand more what is wrong and to control directly the efficiency of the new set-up • Definition of epoch vetoes to obtain time period of data workable Luca Taffarello

  9. Noise hunting: 3 step analysis • Definition of peaks or band noise sources • Identification of noise sensitive peaks out bandwidth • Application of epoch vetoes based by crossing thresholds previous defined applied to this out bandwidth peaks Luca Taffarello

  10. SQUID output 18-22 Hz Analysis of auxiliary channels Spurious peak in bandwidth 894 Hz Acc. Inside vacuum chamber 8-22 Hz Sismometer 8-22 Hz 4 days friday- monday Luca Taffarello

  11. Evidence of connection between external (seismic) activities and bandwidth sensitive bandwidth OUTPUT of SISMOMETER in the cryostat 0-22 Hz 1 DAY Not Possible to determine a correlation between the external disturbances and the response in the sensitive bandwidth Evidence for not-linearity behaviour Luca Taffarello

  12. Low frequency mechanical excitation and response in the detector bandwidth 2 example also without electrical field Shaking frequency 16.57 Hz Effect: some cluster with more peaks equidistant 16.57/3 Hz Shaking frequency 18.62 Hz Effect: all the multiple Not possible to reach shaking frequency below 10 Hz the seismic noise is too power Luca Taffarello

  13. 950 Hz Sp Sp Sp Sp 900 Hz Sp Sunday - Clean Spectrum One year of data between dec. 03 to dec 04 Sp= spurious Luca Taffarello

  15. Run 590 (Time-Frequency) from Sat 11h-13/11/04 to Mon 12h-15/11/04 Clean Raw Data Sat Sun Noisy Raw Data Mon Only during the Sunday nigth is possible see the better spectra duty cycle Gaussian and stationary very poor 20 %, evidence of Monday morning effect, Human Activities? Luca Taffarello

  16. Noisy Raw Data F5 F5 F5 F5 F1 F1 F1 F1 Run 590 (Time-Frequency) 5 hours It is possible to define some group of spurious peaks correlated F means Family, during the history different family appear and dissapear Luca Taffarello
