Use of Bayesian Inference to Diagnose Issues in Experimental Measurements of Mechanical Disk Resonators
Simon C. Tait, Michael J. Williams, Joseph Bayley +2
Gravitational wave detectors, such as LIGO, are predominantly limited by coating Brownian thermal noise (CTN), arising from mechanical losses in the Bragg mirror coatings used on t…
Low thermal noise mirror coatings utilising titanium dioxide and germanium dioxide mixtures
M. Fazio, I. W. Martin, P. Hill +16
Upgrades to ground-based gravitational-wave observatories will require mirror coatings with reduced thermal noise, enabling improved detector sensitivity and extended astrophysical…
Exploration of co-sputtered TaO-ZrO thin films for gravitational-wave detectors
M. Abernathy, A. Amato, A. Ananyeva +45
We report on the development and extensive characterization of co-sputtered tantala-zirconia thin films, with the goal to decrease coating Brownian noise in present and future grav…
