Squeezing the quantum noise of a gravitational-wave detector below the standard quantum limit
Wenxuan Jia, Victoria Xu, Kevin Kuns +168
Precision measurements of space and time, like those made by the detectors of the Laser Interferometer Gravitational-wave Observatory (LIGO), are often confronted with fundamental…
Modeling and Reduction of High Frequency Scatter Noise at LIGO Livingston
Siddharth Soni, Jane Glanzer, Anamaria Effler +4
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 scatter…
Gravity Spy: Lessons Learned and a Path Forward
Michael Zevin, Corey B. Jackson, Zoheyr Doctor +23
The Gravity Spy project aims to uncover the origins of glitches, transient bursts of noise that hamper analysis of gravitational-wave data. By using both the work of citizen-scienc…
Noise in the LIGO Livingston Gravitational Wave Observatory due to Trains
Jane Glanzer, Siddharth Soni, Jaidyn Spoon +2
Environmental seismic disturbances limit the sensitivity of LIGO gravitational wave detectors. Trains near the LIGO Livingston detector produce low frequency (0.5-10 Hz) ground noi…
