Abstract
The sensitivity of aLIGO detectors is adversely affected by the presence of noise caused by light scattering. Low frequency seismic disturbances can create higher frequency scattering noise adversely impacting the frequency band in which we detect gravitational waves. In this paper, we analyze instances of a type of scattered light noise we call 'Fast Scatter' that is produced by motion at frequencies greater than 1 Hz, to locate surfaces in the detector that may be responsible for the noise. We model the phase noise to better understand the relationship between increases in seismic noise near the site and the resulting Fast Scatter observed. We find that mechanical damping of the arm cavity baffles led to a significant reduction of this noise in recent data. For a similar degree of seismic motion in the 1- 3 Hz range, the rate of noise transients is reduced by a factor of similar to 50.
