8. WP1 Teleconference June 14 2005Luca Taffarello Strategy to cope the spurious peaks  Identification of noise sources: noise hunting  Definition of the possible hardware solutions: 2 steps 1.Rubber dissipation layer below the cryostat (roll-off frequency 8-10 Hz Q=2) 2.Active-air mount (Vibraplane KS) automatic leveling/heigth control low vertical natural frequency and orizontal isolation 1-2 Hz internal damping Q=2 and broad load range) Very important parameter the Q factor to avoid other nolinear-coupling where the seismic power is higher and the movement of the cryostat can generate dangerous mechanical stress in the detector  Decision to maintain on air the detector because from the analysis data is possible to understand more what is wrong and to control directly the efficiency of the new set-up  Definition of epoch vetoes to obtain time period of data workable
