 Title: Cavity Lock  

Cavity locked today under vacuum and no airflow, it is stable over a long time

the alignment was improved and an increase of the transmission by 20 % from its original value

unfortunately,  data from the oscilloscope was saved, but it was not in the correct format (image) to show.

Attached ; the mode shape, the new motor positions.

Current setup at SBox for locking the cavity

After spacial matching, the coupling increased to ~ 15 - 20 % 

The locking was done for the fundamental mode, tried to improve the coupling with the motors, but the lock is very unstable to be investigated. (Note: the cavity in under normal pressure)

Start with the cavity lock images attached, taken from last week, at start we have a coupling ~ 5%  and started improving on the alignment .

The image of 00 modes attached corresponds to the coupling seen on the oscilloscope.

We have a higher coupling with the 11 mode due to the size of the injected beam in comparison to mode

lenses were added to improve it.
