As suspected in CTN: 2346, the mode matching of the cavities is deteriorating and eventually alignment is getting screwed due to possible lab temperature fluctuations. I left yesterday with south cavity mode matching to about ~70% but in the morning today, I found that the resonance is completely lost and a higher order mode with vertical fringes is resonant. Same is the case with North one which had shifted to a much higher order with vertical fringes. So clearly, I need to switch back on the vacuum can temperature stabalization. |
