Hiro Yamamoto has updated SIS (Static Interferometer Simulation) to allow us to do the MCMC based inference of the 40m arm cavity mirror maps.
The latest version is in git.ligo.org: IFOsim/SIS/
In the examples directory I have put 3 files:
- mcmcCavityScans.m - runs many cavity scans using parfor and saves the data
- plotCavityScans.m - loads the .mat file with the data and plots it
- plotCavityScans.py - python file which also loads & plots, but nicer since python has a transparency option for the traces.
Attached is the plots and the data. The first attached plot is a low resolution one: 200 scans of 100 frequency points each. Second plot is 200 scans of 300 points each.
The run was done assuming perfect LIGO arm params with a random set of Zernike perturbations for each run. The amplitude of each Zernike was chosen from a Normal distribution with a standard deviation of 10 nm.
We need to come up with a better guess for the initial distribution from which to sample, and also to use the more smart sampling that one does using the MCMC Hammer. |
