Description

Most of the Advanced Virgo light sensing devices are located on 5 in vacuum suspended benches. The benches are suspended from a triple stage mSAS suspension, and the angular degrees of freedom are sensed and controlled from the ground using LVDTs and coil-magnet actuators. The angular control has stringent requirements 30 nrad rms and 3e-15 rad/rtHz above 10 Hz. After introducing the system design, we present the first in air results of controlling the fully integrated system and striving to achieve these requirements.
