System failure diagnosis for the advanced LIGO HAM chamber seismic isolation system
Abstract/Contents
- Abstract
- The Laser Interferometer Gravitational Wave Observatory (LIGO) is a ground-based observatory which is designed to detect the gravitational waves radiated from accelerating massive objects in deep space. Currently, we are developing a new system which upgrades Initial LIGO to Advanced LIGO. However, in Advanced LIGO, the platforms, which hold the mirrors for the interferometer, contain many sensors and actuators. Thus, when the system is not running properly, the operator has to spend a lot of time in order to determine the component which causes the malfunction. Therefore, developing a method that can easily detect the malfunction of the system and help operators to determine where the malfunction comes from becomes an important issue.
