1 40m Upgrade Plans PRELIMINARY! æ Review of 40m upgrade goals æ 40m infrastructure upgrade æ RSE conæguration - design considerations æ IFO optical conæguration æ RSE control scheme æ people, money, schedule æ problems and questions A. Weinstein 40m upgrade LSC, LLO, 3è17è00 1

2 Review of 40m upgrade goals æ The primary goal of the 40 m upgrade is to demonstrate a scheme for using resonant sideband extraction èrseè, in either broadband or tuned conæg, appropriate for an optimal LIGO conæg æ RSE and DR have been demonstrated at Garching 30m, and at table-top IFOs æ An RSEèDR conæg appropriate for LIGO will be demonstrated at the Glasgow 10m æ For LIGO, need a full engineering prototype, using LIGO electronics and control scheme. This is the primary goal of the 40 m upgrade. æ Complements work at other R&D facilities: í 40m will focus on shot èphase, sensingè noise, high-f í LASTI: full-scale SEI,SUS prototyping; low-f í TNI: thermal noise; middle-f í ETF: Sagnac, high powered lasers A. Weinstein 40m upgrade LSC, LLO, 3è17è00 2

3 Secondary 40m upgrade goals Prototype ëeverything"? æ potentially, multiple pendula SUS this may be necessary, to extrapolate experience gained at 40m to LIGO-II æ potentially, advanced SEI systems scaled down, of course. Cannot replace full-scale testing at LASTI. æ LIGO-III: cryogenic TMs, QND, etc.. æ physicist training At the least, must prototype everything that has large impact on electronicsècontrol system, for a meaningful full engineering test! A. Weinstein 40m upgrade LSC, LLO, 3è17è00 3

4 40m infrastructure upgrade æ LIGO-like upgrade, during next 1-2 years: í building modiæcations, control room, electrical í EPICS-based vacuum control system í LIGO-I PSL í æxed-spacer è1mè mode cleaner í 4" optics for IR running í scaled èfor 4" opticsè suspensions í full CDS control system: ISC, LSC, ASC, GDS æ And then beyond, to LIGO-II: í Output chamber for signal mirror èchamber exists, seismic stack to be builtè í 7th suspended optic èsmè í control scheme for all optics í strawman: frontal mod with M-Z IFO æ Ready to prototype an RSE scheme by A. Weinstein 40m upgrade LSC, LLO, 3è17è00 4

5 40m upgrade æ Big outstanding questions: í Bake out entire vacuum envelope? í replace viton with damped metal springs in the passive seismic stacks? í replace existing seismic stacks with LIGO-II prototypes? æ Work closely with RSE and multiple pendula development at Glasgow and elsewhere æ The 40m laboratory will continue to be used for testing and staging of other LIGO detector innovations; physicist training; and education and outreach. æ More information: upgrade.html A.

Weinstein 40m upgrade LSC, LLO, 3è17è00 16

17 Vacuum Contamination æ 40m has endured anomalous optical losses ègreenè èexpected é 50 ppm; saw ç 200 ppmè æ Is this due to the unbaked vacuum envelope? æ Do the viton springs outgas æourocarbons which degrade high-r optics? æ Are these problems reduced in moving to IR? æ Are they exacerbated in the high-f cavities of the upgrade? æ Overall 40m vacuum is good èç few æ10,6 torrè; hydro- and æourocarbons at ç few æ10,11 ; expect improvements with upgraded system èip'sè æ Contamination test cavity ècamp et alè sees no evidence of degradation with IR æ Bake-out, stack rebuild is a BIG job! A. Weinstein 40m upgrade LSC, LLO, 3è17è00 17

18 People æ Currently: Two physicists èweinstein, Ugoliniè, one master tech èvassè æ Lots of summer REU's æ Hope to make heavy use of LIGO engineers: CDS, optical, mechanical æ Hope to involve more postdocs, grad students, undergrads All LSC personnel are invited and encouraged to contribute and participate as much as possible!

20 Problems and questions æ Do we need to bake out the vacuum envelope? æ Should we rebuild the seismic stacks, replacing stiæ-but-well-damped viton ècontaminating the vacuum at a low level?è with soft but-poorly-damped metal springs? æ Should we consider employing advanced èscaled downè SEI systems? æ should we consider prototyping advanced SUS systems èmultiple pendula, electrostatic controlè? æ Is the ësimple" control scheme developed by Mason adequate for LIGO-II? æ How can we implement it? M-Z? f RF 2 = 100 MHz? æ Modulation in vacuum or air? Beforeèafter MC? æ where will we get the physicists and eng. support? A. Weinstein 40m upgrade LSC, LLO, 3è17è00 20
