Inertial control of the mirror suspensions of the VIRGO interferometer for gravitational wave detection

G. Losurdo, G. Calamai, E. Cuoco +32

In order to achieve full detection sensitivity at low frequencies, the mirrors of interferometric gravitational wave detectors must be isolated from seismic noise. The VIRGO vibrat…

Diffraction at TOTEM

G. Antchev, P. Aspell, V. Avati +72

The TOTEM experiment at the LHC measures the total proton-proton cross section with the luminosity-independent method and the elastic proton-proton cross-section over a wide |t|-ra…
