6. Hera plane is not Horizontal … Final cavity Orsay: Oct. 2002/feb.2003 e beam Ellipsometer

7. Results with final cavity at Orsay Mirrors movable from outside  cavity mirrors quality not homogeneous  cavity gain is now >7000 BUT: only 65%-70% on the laser incident power is coupled to the cavity under investigation: we suspect the laser linewidth (  5kHz for 1ms % Cavity bandwith  3kHz for 0.05ms) Power inside cavity:  65% * 7000* 700mW  3200W

8. Transmitted Power % time Reflected power % time Gain estimated by Christian’s fits: Good agreement impossible without laser linewidth

9. Cavity gain via cavity decay time (V. Soskov): laser pumping diode switched off when cavity is locked transmitted power measured as function of time The biggest the power inside cavity, the higher the decay time (  formula…) 1rst test cavity 1rst & 2nd try With final vavity Best with test cavity

10. Quart wave plate is the most sensitive element … :- Choice & calibration important for a per mill level measurement … reached after 2 years of efforts … Ellipsometry (`classic’) :   such : (I1-I2)/(I1+I2) degree of circular polarisation after cavity = Quarter wave plate

14. Calorimeter readout Same system as H1-Lumi calo readout but RIO card with 1 Mb MFCC L2 cache memory ( polarisation for all bunches  10MHz ) MFCC FPGA Programming is done and tested Histogramming in the L2 cache is being programmed The slow control part (PVSS+LabView) is also being programmed

15. Conclusions Feedback and cavity gain –Work fine, power inside cavity also fine:  70%*8000*700mW=4000W Laser polarisation –Per mill level reached after 2 years of work… Calo. DAQ should be ready before the end of the shutdown Laser is being aligned and locking …
