Polarization Maps on TAMA#1

Simon, Pengbo

We reconfigured the polarization system and did a test measurement on tama-size #1.It was place on the mount with the mark point to the top.

As can be seen from the result, both the maps show a smaller offset compared with the result measured before.

Also we can see some structure pattern from the bottom left corner to the top right corner.

Actually, I think those results are not correct.

I re-calculated the S-pol map and got a much smoother distribution with those stripes being vanished almost completely.

As for P-pol, the map-data are unfortunately not reliable as the lock-in's sensitivity wasn't set correctly resulting in saturation on many occasions.
