I attached clipping/centering checklist for the alignment.
Blue ones are the ones we checked today. Red ones should be checked tomorrow. Circles indicate centering on the optics, rectangles indicate clipping check, and arrows indicate retro-reflecting or bounces.
We found mis-centering on MMT1, PR2 and SR3 tonight (by ~0.5 beam diameter). They are also indicated.
I think we don't want to touch MMT1 and PR2 anymore, because they change input beam pointing.
I'm a little bit concerned about high beam on SR3, because we had PRC flashing in vertical higher order modes. We also see ETMX slider values high in pitch (~ 5.4).
Also, the diameter of ETMX reflected beam on ITMX looked larger and dimmer than ITMX transmitted beam, which doesn't seem reasonable.
Wednesday, Feb 20:
- tweak TT1/TT2 and PRM so PRC flashes
- re-check Yarm/Xarm bounces
- center beam on all AS optics, starting from SR2
- make sure REFL and AS is clear
- check if TRY/TRX are coming out from the ends
- check beam centering on mirrors in IMC/OMC chamber as far as you can reach
- inject green from both ends
- make sure green beams are not clipped by mirrors on BS chamber, IMC/OMC chamber
- re-center all oplevs, with no clipping
- check all OSEM values
- take pictures of flipped PR2 and input TTs (and everything)
- close all heavy doors and put the access connector back
Thursday, Feb 21:
- make sure we can lock PRMI
- start pumping down when Steve arrives |
