Seeing vs. g’ factor

Best performances

Secondary Tilt and Decenter (I)

dax = 300 nm rms

day = 300 nm rms

dlx = 1600 nm rms

dly = 300 nm rms

da = 15.4 nm/mas dl = 43.1 nm/mas

Secondary Tilt and Decenter (II)

dax = 170 nm rms

day = 130 nm rms

dlx = 310 nm rms

dly = 120 nm rms

da = 15.4 nm/mas dl = 43.1 nm/mas

Conclusions

• How are we going to measure the interaction matrix ?

• Is there an equivalent g’ for the pyramid sensor ?

• How are we going to setup the diagnostics both from WFC and technical camera ?

• Do we need to implement a feedforward correction of vibrations ?
