Descripción
An instrumented baffle surrounding the end mirror of the input mode cleaner cavity of the Advanced Virgo+ interferometer was installed in spring 2021. This baffle is equipped with active sensors to allow monitoring of light scattered in the cavity and can be used for cavity pre-alignment. A second generation of instrumented baffles, designed and currently under construction at IFAE, will be installed in the main arms of the interfermometer in the second phase of Advanced Virgo+. In this contribution we summarise the performance of the instrumented baffle over the past three years and discuss the challenges of instrumenting baffles near the test masses.
