Newtonian noise limit in atom interferometers for gravitational wave detection
arXiv:1304.1702 · doi:10.1140/epjc/s10052-013-2590-8
Abstract
In this work we study the influence of the newtonian noise on atom interferometers applied to the detection of gravitational waves, and we compute the resulting limits to the sensitivity in two different configurations: a single atom interferometer, or a pair of atom interferometers operated in a differential configuration. We find that for the instrumental configurations considered, and operating in the frequency range [0.1-10] Hz, the limits would be comparable to those affecting large scale optical interferometers.
