93kW in the FP cavity, always with the same
parameter : 33% laser amplifier ratio

from the top of the cavity vessel to the
top case of the Onefive laser.

  397   Tue Feb 11 10:55:21 2025 Ronic ChicheUnder Processinfomechanics | lasers and optics | detectors and electronicsThomX igloocorrelations between accelerometer and lock losses @ 20Hztoday I connected a copy of the laser PZT
signal to the 2nd scope CH2 (with AC coupling
to remove the DC offset) to be able to monitor

  394   Thu Jan 23 17:55:41 2025 Ronic ChicheUnder Processreportmechanics | lasers and optics | detectors and electronicsThomX iglooday by day run for X-ray productiontoday we did x-rays => we got 41 000
pA at maximum and 90kW in the FPC for 33%
amplifier ratio.

BPM jumps and vacuum gauges peaks related
to breakdowns in the beam pipe.

parts of the machine with Vincent and Nicolas,
and we didn't see any change in the Loop
