This morning, I locked again the FP-cavity at more than 50kW with 33% of laser amplifier ratio.
the temperature is measured today at 20.5°C despite the fact the air conditionning is still OFF.
the temperature, rising from 18°C, started monday at 11AM roughly.
maybe, the difference comes from the external doors of the Igloo which have been closed recently ? to be confirmed.
as the temperature is measured inside the airflow housing, all the powered equipements are disspating some heat, rising the inside temperature compared to the bunker temperature.
EDIT : Sophie Chance told me the water temperature cooling of ThomX was defective... the water temperature went to 29°C ! it is being fixed by Dalkia.
careful, we don't have a temperature measurement of the water going to the chiller...
to find resonances, I moved the OC/OP/OCH.01-MOT06 motor from position -770 000 steps to position -788 600 steps which corresponds to ~100µm !
it can be explained by the temperature change and also because during the lock last week, I let the MOT06 motor in position after the cavity was at 50kW.
I had also to change the CEP motor position from -170µm to -420µm and to do some alignment (with walking procedure).
accessing the motor OC/OP/OCH.01-MOT03 from the ATK panel, produces an error : "connection to device failed"... to be solved by Kevin ?

This morning with Daniele, we operated the FP-cavity to be sure there is no issue due to the Linac section changing operation :
- opening/closing the valves due to air pressure break down
- opening/closing the bunker roof
- large temperature change
- etc...
the temperature in the bunker dropped to 18°C instead of 21.5°C, so we had to do some FP-cavity alignment.
but after obtaining resonances and changing the CEP, we got more than 50kW for 33% of amplifier ratio => OK !
