A Cryogenic Silicon Interferometer for Gravitational-wave Detection
Rana X Adhikari, Odylio Aguiar, Koji Arai +108
The detection of gravitational waves from compact binary mergers by LIGO has opened the era of gravitational wave astronomy, revealing a previously hidden side of the cosmos. To ma…
The US Program in Ground-Based Gravitational Wave Science: Contribution from the LIGO Laboratory
David Reitze, Rich Abbott, Carl Adams +181
Recent gravitational-wave observations from the LIGO and Virgo observatories have brought a sense of great excitement to scientists and citizens the world over. Since September 201…
Cosmic Explorer: The U.S. Contribution to Gravitational-Wave Astronomy beyond LIGO
David Reitze, Rana X Adhikari, Stefan Ballmer +21
This white paper describes the research and development needed over the next decade to realize "Cosmic Explorer," the U.S. node of a future third-generation detector network that w…
MHz Gravitational Wave Constraints with Decameter Michelson Interferometers
Aaron S. Chou, Richard Gustafson, Craig Hogan +10
A new detector, the Fermilab Holometer, consists of separate yet identical 39-meter Michelson interferometers. Strain sensitivity achieved is better than $10^{-21} /{\sqrt{\rm{Hz}}…
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…
