Here is a rough schedule:
July 25-26 (2 days)
- Compile detailed OMC, OMMT, PZT, hardware list, dissassemble hardware and
- deliver to Bob for baking.
July 27 (1 day)
- Prepare clean room for in-air clean prealignment of OMC. Clear unneeded equipment
- from flowbench and remove window (if necessary). Couple the NPRO to two 50m fibers, run fibers through doggy door to clean room. Wipe down all necessary auxilliary equipment: mirror mounts, electronics (lock-in, power supplies, PZT drivers), cables, tools, etc, and move to clean room.
Aug 21 - 25 (5-8 days)
- Receive baked hardware from Bob
- Begin with assembly/alignment of OMMT, (potentially using the autocollimators)
- Align OMC, glue bracket onto body
- Align full breadboarded setup
- Test new tip/tilt PZTs
- Oct 3 - new PZT from PJ; Oct 20 - repaired one
- Fill PD preamp nipple with Krypton 83 (or Xenon - 131, Ne 20)
- fix IPPOS, IPANG
Set references on IPANG & IPPOS in vacuum Check IP beam centering on pick-off mirrors in vacuum Check all oplev centering
Sep 5 (1 day)
- Vent
Check-reestablish oplevs & IP refs
- Remove AC from OO to IO
- Remove North door of BSC
- Remove North door of ITMX
- Remove North door of OO?
Sep 6-8 (3 days)
- Check beam centering on mc3
- define input beam
Measure levelness of OOC, IOC, BS & ITMX
- Install and align in-vac beamline,
- Output beams: OMCR, OMCT, SV beam
- BS chamber TT mirror installation, cable to ITMX chamber
- align Go's translation stage mirror
Sep 11-13 (3 days)
- Fix-up some OSEMS in the BSC
- seal up, final checks
- pump down Sep 13
Remainder of Sep, October:
- lock IFO in suitable configuration
- establish DC readout beamline with analog electronics / controls,
- probably no alignment servo
- install and commission new CDS electronics / controls
- commission bridge between PCIX and Refl Mem LSC system
- tune, optimize, measure and understand DC readout signal
- - mode matching - alignment dither servo optimization - OMC servo optimization - PD readout
- control DARM with DC PD signal
- measure noise, compare with RF readout
- begin squeezed vacuum experiment (Kirk Mckenzie visit)
