Status Report
The installation of the mode-cleaner system is a success. The mode-cleaner
lock works automatically overnight together with the auto-alignment. It runs
very regularly with only one reset within fourteen hours. Now we are
studying the long-term drift in order to obtain data for a better optimization.
The whole system has been stabilized on the power-recycling cavity.
The suspension for the beamsplitter is ready. All the installations in the
north-end building are finished, up to the control program (network
problems).
Merry Xmas & a Happy New Year to All of the Gravity Wave Community!
