Green team

• before vent

  • relocation of existing optics at the end table -take 1.5day

• during vent

  • set up the green stuff onto the end table
  • align the green laser to the cavity (how to ?)

  • mode matching of the green laser to the cavity (on the table / corridor projection test) ==> sliding mount

• after closing the tanks

  • recover IP-ANG and optical levers

CDS team

RF team

PSL table upgrade

• Laser delivery (done)
