Characterization and evasion of backscattered light in the squeezed-light enhanced gravitational wave interferometer GEO 600

Fabio Bergamin, James Lough, Emil Schreiber +15

Squeezed light is injected into the dark port of gravitational wave interferometers, in order to reduce the quantum noise. A fraction of the interferometer output light can reach t…

Direct limits for scalar field dark matter from a gravitational-wave detector

Sander M. Vermeulen, Philip Relton, Hartmut Grote +20

The nature of dark matter remains unknown to date; several candidate particles are being considered in a dynamically changing research landscape. Scalar field dark matter is a prom…

First demonstration of 6 dB quantum noise reduction in a kilometer scale gravitational wave observatory

James Lough, Emil Schreiber, Fabio Bergamin +14

Photon shot noise, arising from the quantum-mechanical nature of the light, currently limits the sensitivity of all the gravitational wave observatories at frequencies above one ki…

All-sky search for short gravitational-wave bursts in the second Advanced LIGO and Advanced Virgo run

The LIGO Scientific Collaboration, the Virgo Collaboration, B. P. Abbott +1186

We present the results of a search for short-duration gravitational-wave transients in the data from the second observing run of Advanced LIGO and Advanced Virgo. We search for gra…

All-sky search for continuous gravitational waves from isolated neutron stars using Advanced LIGO O2 data

The LIGO Scientific Collaboration, the Virgo Collaboration, B. P. Abbott +1130

We present results of an all-sky search for continuous gravitational waves (CWs), which can be produced by fast-spinning neutron stars with an asymmetry around their rotation axis,…

GEO 600 and the GEO-HF upgrade program: successes and challenges

K. L. Dooley, J. R. Leong, T. Adams +25

The German-British laser-interferometric gravitational wave detector GEO 600 is in its 14th year of operation since its first lock in 2001. After GEO 600 participated in science ru…
