\section*{Conclusions}
This study is promising to provide a significant contribution to the improvement of LIGO LSC signals and the detector stability when it is running in observing mode. The tests at LHO demonstrated that the experiment succeeded in lowering the seismic motion of the platforms by a factor of 3 at low frequencies and that also the DARM signal benefited from it. The simulations have shown that it is possible to reduce the differential motion of the chambers by a factor of 3 in order of magnitude below 0.1 Hz. The test on the Power Recycling Cavity Length highlighted that the signal can be controlled by the ISI according with the software simulations.\\

As we saw, the implications go straight to the basics of the instrument: a more stable detector produces a less noisy signal which can last longer into the cavities, assuring a longer observing time and giving the possibility to detect more gravitational waves and in lower ranges of frequency \cite{lantztalk}\cite{jenne}.

LIGO Livingston site has also actuated a similar process, following the progression at LHO during the work on site in 2019 \cite{llo}. Due to the limited time of the commissioning break, it was not possible to take further measurements of ISI motion and LSC signals, especially with an accurate study of the blending filters. However, since the software skeleton of the new configuration has been built and installed on both LIGO CDSs, further studies and tests were due in 2020 to complete the last steps and test it fully on the interferometer. The results make the experiment worthy of future developments and we are confident that these tests could be carried out in the coming months.
