excerpt



Still, energy can reach the system through the stainless steel tubing connecting the pumps, on the floor, to the vacuum chamber.  Though the frequency is low (much less than the 1st mode resonance of any beam) and therefore is not expected to excite the cantilevers, the roughing pump has a noticeable vibration.  Impulse noises (doors slamming, loud staccato noises) from the environment have been observed to, at times, excite the first mode resonance.  Measurements are made when the room is and has been quiet.
