Method to search for inspiraling planetary-mass ultra-compact binaries using the generalized frequency-Hough transform in LIGO O3a data
Andrew L. Miller, Nancy Aggarwal, Sebastien Clesse +6
Gravitational waves from sub-solar mass primordial black holes could be detected in LIGO, Virgo and KAGRA data. Here, we apply a method originally designed to look for rapidly spin…
Optical trapping of high-aspect-ratio NaYF hexagonal prisms for kHz-MHz gravitational wave detectors
George Winstone, Zhiyuan Wang, Shelby Klomp +9
We present experimental results on optical trapping of Yb-doped NaYF sub-wavelength-thickness high-aspect-ratio hexagonal prisms with a micron-scale radius. The prisms are tra…
Surpassing the Standard Quantum Limit using an Optical Spring
Torrey Cullen, Scott Aronson, Ron Pagano +9
Quantum mechanics places noise limits and sensitivity restrictions on physical measurements. The balance between unwanted backaction and the precision of optical measurements impos…
Challenges and Opportunities of Gravitational Wave Searches above 10 kHz
Nancy Aggarwal, Odylio D. Aguiar, Diego Blas +34
The first direct measurement of gravitational waves by the LIGO and Virgo collaborations has opened up new avenues to explore our Universe. This white paper outlines the challenges…
The Two Orbital, Interacting Hatano-Nelson Model
Jonah Huang, Rubem Mondaini, Nancy Aggarwal +1
The single orbital, one-dimensional, Hatano-Nelson Hamiltonian provides deep insight into the physics of non-Hermiticity, resulting from asymmetric left/right hopping, and its conn…
Source mass characterization in the ARIADNE axion experiment
Chloe Lohmeyer, Nancy Aggarwal, Asimina Arvanitaki +22
The Axion Resonant InterAction Detection Experiment (ARIADNE) is a collaborative effort to search for the QCD axion using nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR), where the axion acts as…
