Broadband and Simulines Calibration Sweeps

Following instructions from the TakingCalibrationMeasurements wiki, at 18:33 UTC I dropped H1 out of observing to run the usual calibration sweeps. Calibration monitor and report attached.

Broadband - 18:34:20 to 18:39:38 UTC

Simulines - 18:40:57 to 19:04:04 UTC

Comparing the broadband from this Saturday to the previous broadband on Sept 27, there has been a significant change in the calibration uncertainty. We know that there was a small change in the overall calibration since the last model push on 8/28, which could be related to the power outage. However, I can't think of any significant change in the last week that could account for this difference.

We do know that:

  • Kappa C since the power outage is lower by 1%, and,
  • Kappa TST has been increasing  for more than a month now, and is now 3% higher, likely due to charging.

However, both of those bullet points should be accounted for by the TDCFs.
