People Live & breathe 40m: Alan Weinstein, Dennis Ugolini, Steve Vass, Ben Abbott LIGO lab engineers playing major roles: Garilynn Billingsley, Lisa Bogue, Rolf Bork, Lee Cardenas, Dennis Coyne, Jay Heefner, Larry Jones, Rick Karwoski, Peter King, Janeen Romie, Paul Russel, Mike Smith, Larry Wallace 6month visiting grad student Guillaume Michel Lots of SURF students (this summer 6).

40m Laboratory Upgrade - Objectives Primary objective: full engineering prototype of optics control scheme for a dual recycling suspended mass IFO» Table-top IFOs at Caltech, Florida, Australia, Japan (~ complete!)» These lead to decision on control scheme by LSC/AIC (August 2000 LSC)» Glasgow 10m DR prototype with multiple pendulum suspensions» Then, full LIGO engineering prototype of ISC, CDS at 40m» First look at DR shot noise response (high-f) Other key elements of AdvLIGO are prototyped elsewhere:»lasti, MIT: full-scale prototyping of Adv.LIGO SEI, SUS (low-f)»tni, Caltech : measure thermal noise in Adv.LIGO test masses (mid-f)» AIGO, Gingin : high powered laser, thermal effects, control stability»etf, Stanford: advanced IFO configs (Sagnac), lasers, etc AJW,report to 40m TAC, Aug 13, 2001 3

Advanced LIGO technical innovations tested at 40m a seventh mirror for signal recycling» (length control goes from 4x4 to 5x5 MIMO) detuned signal cavity (carrier off resonance) pair of phase-modulated RF sidebands» frequencies made as low and as high as is practically possible» unbalanced: only one sideband in a pair is used» double demodulation to produce error signals short output mode cleaner» filter out all RF sidebands and higher-order transverse modes offset-locked arms» controlled amount of arm-filtered carrier light exits asym port of BS DC readout of the gravitational wave signal Much effort to ensure high fidelity between 40m and Adv.LIGO! AJW,report to 40m TAC, Aug 13, 2001 4

Differences between AdvLIGO and 40m prototype Initially, LIGO-I single pendulum suspensions will be used» Full-scale AdvLIGO multiple pendulums will not fit in vacuum chambers» to be tested at LASTI» Scaled-down versions can fit, to test controls hierarchy in 2004? Only commercial active seismic isolation» STACIS isolators already in use on all 4 test chambers» providing ~30 db of isolation in 1-100 Hz range» No room for anything like full AdvLIGO design to be tested at LASTI LIGO-I 10-watt laser, negligible thermal effects» Other facilities will test high-power laser: LASTI, Gingin,» Thermal compensation also tested elsewhere Small (5 mm) beam spot at TM s; stable arm cavities» AdvLIGO will have 6 cm beam spots, using less stable cavities» 40m can move to less stable arm cavities if deemed useful Arm cavity finesse at 40m chosen to be = to AdvLIGO» Storage time is x100 shorter» significant differences in lock acquisition dynamics, in predictable ways Due to shorter PRC length, control RF sidebands are 36/180 MHz instead of 9/180 MHz; less contrast between PRC and SRC signals AJW,report to 40m TAC, Aug 13, 2001 5

40m Laboratory Upgrade More Objectives Expose shot noise curve, dip at tuned frequency Multiple pendulum suspensions» this may be necessary, to extrapolate experience gained at 40m on control of optics, to LIGO-II» For testing of mult-suspension controllers, mult-suspension mechanical prototypes, interaction with control system» Not full scale. Insufficient head room in chambers.» Won t replace full-scale LASTI tests. thermal noise measurements» Mirror Brownian noise will dominate above 100 Hz. Facility for testing/staging small LIGO innovations Hands-on training of new IFO physicists! Public tours (SURF/REU students, DNC media, princes, etc) AJW,report to 40m TAC, Aug 13, 2001 6

Length sensing signals from Twiddle Twiddle is a Mathematica program to numerically calculate response of RF demodulation of IFO signals in response to motion of mirrors away from locked configuration. Can construct MIMO length sensing and control matrix. AdvLIGO control matrix much more diagonal than LIGO I!
