8. 27/Aug./2015 KAGRA f2f meeting Summary 8 Completed assembling X&Y-end cryostats without cryo-coolers and cleared leak tests based on KAGRA requirement Completed assembling X&Y-front cryostat including connection of 11 cryo-cooler units and 4 duct shields. At leak test of the front, two small leak spots < 1x10 -9 Pa*m 3 /sec were founded by the reason of malfunction of gaskets. It should be replace until mid of September 2015. A plan for connection of cryo-cooler units and duct shields at X&Y-end cryostat were proposed and accepted by SEO. It should be launched at mid of March 2016.

13. 27/Aug./2015 KAGRA f2f meeting Recommendation 18: The basic performance test/inspection, especially leak tests, should be completed before the beam tube installation. The current plan to do this by the coming January should be kept.  Suzuki: The leak test of Cryostat in X-end was performed in January 2015. The top flange of the cryostat with a diameter of 2400 mm was fastened using a metal gasket. This part will never be able to open after constructing a clean booth. No excess leak was found on the background level of 1x10^-12 Pa*m^3 /sec. This result satisfied the requirement of KAGRA vacuum system that specify a leak less than 1x10^-10 Pa*m^3 /sec. Assembling other three cryostats in Y-end and XY-front is in progress. Leak test for those cryostats will finish until April 2015. Recommendation: Vibration measurements with the cryo-cooler in operation should be repeated at appropriate locations corresponding to the final design configuration, to more accurately assess vibration transfer. If the resulting spectrum remains as serious as was presented from the preliminary measurements shown, more understanding and development of mitigation techniques will be necessary. This may have radical impact on the cryogenic plant and/or payload designs. Comment: All the cryocoolers have been delivered to the KAGRA site, but cryocoolers have not all been integrated with the end cryostats. Although the cooling time for the radiation shield and vibration levels at the shield have been measured at Toshiba facility, it is highly desirable to demonstrate the cooling and vibration levels inside the real cryostat at the KAGRA site as soon as possible to alleviate remaining uncertainties about the cryogenic operation of KAGRA. If isolation of cryocooler vibration should be insufficient, it could render the vibration isolation achieved by super-attenuators useless. Recommendation: The cryocoolers should be integrated with at least one end cryostat and vibration isolation system, so that both cooling and vibration isolation can be tested as soon as possible. This will also afford VIS and CRY teams an opportunity to work together on integration of their systems. 2014 PAB 2015 External Review
