4. The suspension will not be critically modified.

5. PAY versus AdV layout PAY changes will be driven essentially by: - Thermal noise issues - New optical layout

6. Baseline approach

7. - The overall approach is that of exploiting the know how and the experience. - Expectedly last stage suspension optimization (control operation and thermal noise) is easier for single-mirror payloads. This idea drove the PAY baseline.

A further check of the modeling process and possible payload optimization microseism due to sea activity is often active in the range 0.2-0.6 Hz Effective attenuation of  seism at the payload Thanks to IP inertial damping and suspension performance the lock force applied to the marionette corrects the residual payload motion, whose rms above 100 mHz is ~ 1 order of magnitude smaller than the ground motion (MSC,Hannover 25 10 07) Pitch (in present payload): g=-88 urad/V (DC); cp=[0.409 300] cz=[0.449 60] cp=[0.4525 60] cz=[1.705 1500]cp=[1.753 1500] cp=[3.205 1500] sp=10 Murphy law: Virgo suspension chain and actual payloads have z/p couples in the same range, which falls in the microseismic band=> pitch alignment suffers …

21. CONCLUSIONS - PAY simulation tool even if not released as stable SW package does exist. - Simulation of modified single-mirror payload (V+) has to be completed by Nov/Dec 09. - NDC multi-mirror payloads will be studied in order to compare reasonable mechanical solutions for OSD 2 and 4 by Feb/March 09.
