For interplanetary fields shielding
from electrode housing and
vacuum housing – limited by
access holes  η ~ 0.01
Interplanetary fields unlikely to be of concern, but be careful to maintain
conducting enclosure integrity
No shielding against test-mass motion relative to housing – uncancelled
interplanetary residual plus internally generated static fields

Charge Control
Design – trade-off within gravitational reference sensor design
Initialisation – e.g. after uncaging to deal with unknown charge residual on test-mass
Charge measurement, timed exposure to UV (with bias voltage boost)
Preparation – iterative adjustment to prepare test-mass for science data taking
Charge measurement, timed differential exposure to UV
Science data – slow continuous closed loop feedback to:
Reduce coherent artefacts in science data due to cyclic force build-up
Suppress low-frequency 1/fn (n≥1) acceleration noise
Charge measurement, timed differential exposure to UV
Radiation monitor assistance for pre-emptive strike
Recovery – rapid response to occasional large excursions
Charge measurement, timed exposure to UV (with bias voltage boost)
Caging mechanism assistance?

Apply ‘tube mirror’ to ISUKs JF02 and JF04
Adapt gold coating (specification) for TM spheres
ISH FM AIT adaptations
Apply plasma cleaning to surfaces before AIT
Handling requirements for defined “no-touch” zones on surfaces
Nitrogen storage of surfaces at all possible times
Apply bake-out of integrated ISS FM at 125°C
Apply UV cleaning of surfaces in the integrated ISS FM (pending
qualification success)

LISA Studies:
• Hardware
» Controlled surface preparation
» Improved/more detailed microphysics modelling/understanding
» UV Lamps - shorten wavelength, second technology – Laser diodes/LEDs
» Radiation Monitor definition
• Operations
» How to deal with two test-masses in the same spacecraft in a co-ordinated way?
 Data artefacts, Live time
» How to deal with three spacecraft in a co-ordinated way?
 Data artefacts, moderate SEPS varying spatially/temporally from one spacecraft to another, Live
time
» Use of radiation monitor within the control loop
• Data Analysis
» Simulator including effects induced by both charge and charge control operations
» Identification of artefacts
» Removal of artefacts
» Data Quality indicators
• AOB
» More space weather studies
» GEANT4 with new spacecraft

First eLISA Consortium Meeting - APC, Paris 22nd October 2012
Summary
»Charge control is crucial for eLISA operations
»Charge control is crucial to the eLISA noise budget
»Charge control impacts on the whole
payload/(system?)
»LISAPF will probably demonstrate that all aspects
of charge control for eLISA are viable but marginal
»There is still a long ‘shopping list’ of improvements/
optimisations required for eLISA
