Challenges and Opportunities of Gravitational Wave Searches at MHz to GHz Frequencies
N. Aggarwal, O. D. Aguiar, A. Bauswein +22
The first direct measurement of gravitational waves by the LIGO and Virgo collaborations has opened up new avenues to explore our Universe. This white paper outlines the challenges…
Improving significance of binary black hole mergers in Advanced LIGO data using deep learning : Confirmation of GW151216
Shreejit Jadhav, Nikhil Mukund, Bhooshan Gadre +2
We present a novel Machine Learning (ML) based strategy to search for binary black hole (BBH) mergers in data from ground-based gravitational wave (GW) observatories. This is the f…
Improving the Robustness of the Advanced LIGO Detectors to Earthquakes
Eyal Schwartz, A Pele, J Warner +196
Teleseismic, or distant, earthquakes regularly disrupt the operation of ground--based gravitational wave detectors such as Advanced LIGO. Here, we present \emph{EQ mode}, a new glo…
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…
Bilinear noise subtraction at the GEO 600 observatory
Nikhil Mukund, James Lough, Christoph Affeldt +8
Longitudinal control signals used to keep gravitational wave detectors at a stable operating point are often affected by modulations from test mass misalignments leading to an elev…
