Gravitational wave detectors from an experimental perspective
Marina Trad-Nery, Margherita Turconi, Walid Chaibi
This chapter introduces the fundamental principles of gravitational wave detectors in a simple and comprehensive manner. Because these instruments aim for extremely high sensitivit…
Virgo Detector Characterization and Data Quality: tools
F. Acernese, M. Agathos, A. Ain +491
Detector characterization and data quality studies -- collectively referred to as {\em DetChar} activities in this article -- are paramount to the scientific exploitation of the jo…
Virgo Detector Characterization and Data Quality: results from the O3 run
F. Acernese, M. Agathos, A. Ain +491
The Advanced Virgo detector has contributed with its data to the rapid growth of the number of detected gravitational-wave (GW) signals in the past few years, alongside the two Adv…
Virgo Detector Characterization and Data Quality during the O3 run
F. Acernese, M. Agathos, A. Ain +491
The Advanced Virgo detector has contributed with its data to the rapid growth of the number of detected gravitational-wave signals in the past few years, alongside the two LIGO ins…
The Virgo O3 run and the impact of the environment
F. Acernese, M. Agathos, A. Ain +486
Sources of geophysical noise (such as wind, sea waves and earthquakes) or of anthropogenic noise impact ground-based gravitational-wave interferometric detectors, causing transient…
High speed, high power 2D beam steering for mitigation of optomechanical parametric instability in gravitational wave detectors
Thomas Harder, Margherita Turconi, Rémi Soulard +1
In this paper we propose a novel strategy to control optomechanical parametric instability (PI) in gravitational wave (GW) detectors, based on radiation pressure. The fast deflecti…
Probing electronic decoherence with high-resolution attosecond photoelectron interferometry
David Busto, Hugo Laurell, Daniel Finkelstein Shapiro +14
Quantum coherence plays a fundamental role in the study and control of ultrafast dynamics in matter. In the case of photoionization, entanglement of the photoelectron with the ion…
All-sky search in early O3 LIGO data for continuous gravitational-wave signals from unknown neutron stars in binary systems
The LIGO Scientific Collaboration, the Virgo Collaboration, R. Abbott +1369
Rapidly spinning neutron stars are promising sources of persistent, continuous gravitational waves. Detecting such a signal would allow probing of the physical properties of matter…
Attosecond photoionization dynamics in the vicinity of the Cooper minima in argon
C. Alexandridi, D. Platzer, L. Barreau +15
Using a spectrally resolved electron interferometry technique, we measure photoionization time delays between the and subshells of argon over a large 34-eV energy range c…
Mitigation of Parametric Instability
Margherita Turconi, Thomas Harder, Rémi Soulard +1
A key action for enhancing the sensitivity of gravitational wave (GW) detectors based on laser interferometry is to increase the laser power. However, in such a high-power regime,…
Generation of very high-order high purity Gaussian modes via spatial light modulation
Stefan Ast, Sibilla Di Pace, Jacques Millo +3
We experimentally demonstrate the conversion of a fundamental laser mode at 1064\,nm to higher order Hermite-Gaussian modes (HG) of arbitrary order via a commerci…
Time-frequency representations of autoionization dynamics in helium
D. Busto, L. Barreau, M. Isinger +16
Autoionization, which results from the interference between direct photoionization and photoexcitation to a discrete state decaying to the continuum by configuration interaction, i…
Directly comparing GW150914 with numerical solutions of Einstein's equations for binary black hole coalescence
The LIGO Scientific Collaboration, the Virgo Collaboration, B. P. Abbott +979
We compare GW150914 directly to simulations of coalescing binary black holes in full general relativity, accounting for all the spin-weighted quadrupolar modes, and separately acco…
Properties of the Binary Black Hole Merger GW150914
The LIGO Scientific Collaboration, the Virgo Collaboration, B. P. Abbott +987
On September 14, 2015, the Laser Interferometer Gravitational-wave Observatory (LIGO) detected a gravitational-wave transient (GW150914); we characterize the properties of the sour…
Advanced Virgo: a 2nd generation interferometric gravitational wave detector
F. Acernese, M. Agathos, K. Agatsuma +231
Advanced Virgo is the project to upgrade the Virgo interferometric detector of gravitational waves, with the aim of increasing the number of observable galaxies (and thus the detec…
