A Tale of Two Calibrators: Comparing Newtonian and Photon Calibration in Advanced LIGO after the Third Observing Run

Dana Jones, Michael P. Ross, Ling Sun +5

Precise calibration of LIGO's strain readout plays a vital role in our ability to extract information from gravitational-wave detections. We present a comparative analysis of two i…

An Improved Torsion Balance Test of the Equivalence Principle Towards the Sun

M. P. Ross, E. A. Shaw, C. Gettings +3

We search for violations of the Equivalence Principle towards the Sun using a rotating torsion balance apparatus. We set 95\%-confidence limits on violations with beryllium and alu…

Probing For Non-Gravitational Galactic-Range Dark Matter Interactions

M. P. Ross, S. K. Apple, E. A. Shaw +3

Dark matter remains a mystery in fundamental physics. The only evidence for dark matter's existence is from gravitational interactions. We operated a precision torsion balance expe…

Test of the Equivalence Principle for Superconductors

M. P. Ross, S. M. Fleischer, I. A. Paulson +9

We searched for violations of the weak equivalence principle using a cryogenic torsion balance with a pendulum comprised of superconducting niobium and copper. We constrain the Eöt…

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…

A Pseudo Plane-wave Gravitational Calibrator for Gravitational Wave Observatories

M. P. Ross, J. H. Gundlach, E. G. Adelberger +8

The precisions of existing gravitational calibrators for gravitational wave observatories are limited by their dependence on the relative position between the calibrators and the o…
