I. EM-MSC-251007 MSC status at VSR 1 startup: quick reminder 2

Mirror Suspension Control at VSR 1 startup: essentials Compensation of actuator non-linear recoil: for both Marionette and Super. Attenuator. Global-Inverted-Pendulum-Control (partial): to increase Pos/Acc sensor crossover frequency (up to 70 m. Hz) without significant Seism re-injection Pos/Acc prefiltering strategy tunable on-the-fly(0. 15 -0. 7 Hz). according to the wind (0. 02 -0. 7) or sea (0. 15 -0. 6) disturbance. Lock force hierarchically controlled through 4 marionette (two FP arms): to avoid saturations at low frequency. Local control roll-off (NI, WI, BSyaw) reduced to improve stability. IMC Suspensions (MC, IB) non-optimized and with no Vdamp. EM-MSC-251007 3

EM-MSC-251007 mix =0. 5 ‘medium’ attenuation of LVDT seism n Compared to the starting config (crossover @ 50 mix =0 (wind-earthqukes, f <70 m. Hz): “aggressive” attenuation of accelerometer tilt noise. mix =1 ( seism, 150 -600 m. Hz) : “aggressive”, slightly worsened against tilt noise. 6

SFR (Central Area) GIPC (ARMs) higher cross-over (70 m. Hz) (lower wind noise without seism re-injection) & Coherent response to EQs EM-MSC-251007 Next ! ENV-TUNED GUARD 11

MSC Vs seism (3) : main path/payload motion attenuation at the suspension point Effective attenuation of seism at the payload The lock force applied to the marionette corrects the residual payload motion, whose rms above 100 m. Hz is ~ 1 order of magnitude smaller than the ground motion. EM-MSC-251007 12

Noise impact study using VSR 1 data and sub-conlcusion III Higher gain for injection bench angular control (pitch) necessary to improve stability during high sea activity. Even though the seism disturbance is the range of suspension resonant frequencies, the overall impact at the level of the mirror is relatively small: a factor 10 of rms at the ground worsens by a factor 2 the accuracy of controlled signals at the ITF level. What is the coupling path ? EM-MSC-251007 16

OBO: injection at NE-WE top-stage, a “positive” clear result. activated probe END mirror pitch SA Payoad TOP OBO ITF z. GC Actual seism GW channel yaw unperturbed pitch perturbed An efficient way to produce Horizon drops similar to actual one as seism rms is ~ 3 m is through mirror pitch noise (consistent with VSR 1 experience). EM-MSC-251007 20

Injection @ NE-WE As expected, due to GIPC, injections @ NI-WI produce very similar effects. EM-MSC-251007 21

OBO: injection at IMC top-stages Very difficult to excite the IB simply injecting pseudo Seismic noise at the top-stage. Power fluctuations close to the actual ones only by using a strong line, tuned on IB main pitch mode. EM-MSC-251007 22

Injection @ Input. MC a surprisingly “negative” clinical result, Some hidden path… EM-MSC-251007 23

Sub-conlcusion IV and summary In spite of suspension resonances, normally there is no environmental seismic effect on the sensitivity. High seism means that the ground shake in the range 0. 2 -0. 7 Hz can increase up to 10 times, worsening mirror control signals by a factor 2. Two main effects ITF Power fluctuations Specific coupling with sensitivity due to diff. p Improvement of IB angular control (coming soon) EM-MSC-251007 In order to cope with a noise bump at 200 -300 Hz (that should be removed) we can: - decrease the gain demand to alignment control (by setting input mirrors under AA) - improve the strategy (higher LVDT/Acc crossover andachievable tuned reallocation Quite reasonably to gain a factor 2 24 techniques).

Injection @ BS Not enough to explain the noise in actual condition, considering that the applied disturbance was much larger in OBO tests. EM-MSC-251007 34

Noise injection at BS suspension topstage With a similar excitation of the top stage, the longitudinal accuracy is much worse. The angular motion is larger in tx, smaller in ty. EM-MSC-251007 35

Noise budget now + what next? (E. Tournefier) Control noises: further reduction - sensing/driving matrices improvements / 8 MHz? - angular control filters/ better signals with new end benches telescope Actuator noise is not far at low frequency => new coil driver (more filtering) Where is the Eddy current noise? Remaining mystery noise => Brewster removal + diffused light mitigation 700 Hz monster? ? Cleaning of the mirrors + TCS will the error signals get cleaner? EM-MSC-251007 36
