comes from anouncements in the bunker, puting
the housing+table in vibration ?
  
  382   Fri Nov 22 10:23:33 2024 Ronic ChicheUnder Processreportmechanics | lasers and optics | detectors and electronicsThomX iglooday by day run for X-ray productionthe RF frequency changed from 500.1003MHz
to 500.0913MHz => it reduced by 9kHz @
500MHz which is equivalent to 600Hz @ 33MHz
  
  383   Tue Nov 26 18:00:14 2024 Ronic ChicheUnder Processreportmechanics | lasers and optics | detectors and electronicsThomX iglooday by day run for X-ray productionat the begining of the day, we started
to get ~81kW in the FPC for 33% amplifier
ratio and after ~1h, we got 84kW after CEP

  384   Wed Dec 4 12:26:03 2024 Ronic ChicheUnder Processreportmechanics | lasers and optics | detectors and electronicsThomX iglooday by day run for X-ray productiontoday with Alice, we planned to do a long
run with ~80kW in the FPC to check if the
lock problems are coming from the interaction
  
  385   Wed Dec 4 17:11:50 2024 Ronic ChicheUnder Processreportmechanics | lasers and optics | detectors and electronicsThomX iglooday by day run for X-ray productionwe observed that :

- the MOT.03 motor always exhibits
some perturbations on the transmitted, reflected

  386   Wed Dec 4 17:53:49 2024 Ronic ChicheUnder Processreportmechanics | lasers and optics | detectors and electronicsThomX iglooday by day run for X-ray productionlast thing we tried :

we removed the threshold on the
FPC/RF error signal.
  
  387   Wed Dec 11 18:51:35 2024 Ronic ChicheUnder Processreportmechanics | lasers and optics | detectors and electronicsThomX iglooday by day run for X-ray productionThis morning, I added an amplifier on the
33MHz beating signal in between the mixer+LPF
and the scope/Laselock.

  389   Tue Dec 17 16:28:32 2024 Ronic ChicheUnder Processreportmechanics | lasers and optics | detectors and electronicsThomX iglooday by day run for X-ray productionthis morning, Kevin reduced the steering
current in the IcePap controllers of the
FP cavity motors.
  
  390   Tue Jan 7 10:18:08 2025 Ronic ChicheUnder Processreportmechanics | lasers and optics | detectors and electronicsThomX iglooday by day run for X-ray productionthis morning, I restarted the cavity after
the Christmas shutdown.
everything went fine.
  
  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.
  
  395   Thu Feb 6 10:29:36 2025 Ronic ChicheUnder Processreportmechanics | lasers and optics | detectors and electronicsThomX iglooday by day run for X-ray productionthis morning, I restarted the lock of the
CFP after almost 2 weeks without operation.
after quick alignment and CEP tuning,

  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
  
  398   Fri Feb 14 10:11:00 2025 Ronic ChicheUnder Processinfomechanics | lasers and optics | detectors and electronicsThomX igloocorrelations between accelerometer and lock losses @ 20Hzthis morning, I did some measurement with
nobody interfering with the tests.
