Globally coherent short duration magnetic field transients and their effect on ground based gravitational-wave detectors
Izabela Kowalska-Leszczynska, Marie-Anne Bizouard, Tomasz Bulik +8
It has been recognized that the magnetic fields from the Schumann resonances could affect the search for a stochastic gravitational-wave background by LIGO and Virgo. Presented her…
Superconducting-Gravimeter Tests of Local Lorentz Invariance

Effects of waveform model systematics on the interpretation of GW150914
The LIGO Scientific Collaboration, the Virgo Collaboration, B. P. Abbott +999
Parameter estimates of GW150914 were obtained using Bayesian inference, based on three semi-analytic waveform models for binary black hole coalescences. These waveform models diffe…
Robust and stable delay interferometers with application to -dimensional time-frequency quantum key distribution
Nurul T. Islam, Andres Aragoneses, A. Lezama +2
We investigate experimentally a cascade of temperature-compensated unequal-path interferometers that can be used to measure frequency states in a high-dimensional quantum distribut…
Constraining the Higgs couplings to up and down quarks using production kinematics at the CERN Large Hadron Collider
