Parametric Instability Observation in Advanced Virgo

Speaker

Paola Puppo (ROMA1)

Description

We present the first observation of a parametric instability event in Advanced Virgo. The event occurred on January the 2020 during the locking acquisition procedure and involves for the first time, for a long-arm interferometer, a very high frequency mechanical mode. We will describe this event and the mean adopted for its dampening.
