Evaluation of heat extraction through sapphire fibers for the GW observatory KAGRA
Alexander Khalaidovski, Gerd Hofmann, Dan Chen +9
Currently, the Japanese gravitational wave laser interferometer KAGRA is under construction in the Kamioka mine. As one main feature, it will employ sapphire mirrors operated at a…
Scientific Objectives of Einstein Telescope
B. Sathyaprakash, M. Abernathy, F. Acernese +222
The advanced interferometer network will herald a new era in observational astronomy. There is a very strong science case to go beyond the advanced detector network and build detec…
Scientific Potential of Einstein Telescope
B. Sathyaprakash, M. Abernathy, F. Acernese +138
Einstein gravitational-wave Telescope (ET) is a design study funded by the European Commission to explore the technological challenges of and scientific benefits from building a th…
Sensitivity Studies for Third-Generation Gravitational Wave Observatories
S. Hild, M. Abernathy, F. Acernese +136
Advanced gravitational wave detectors, currently under construction, are expected to directly observe gravitational wave signals of astrophysical origin. The Einstein Telescope, a…
Effect of heat treatment on mechanical dissipation in TaO coatings
I W Martin, R Bassiri, R Nawrodt +14
Thermal noise arising from mechanical dissipation in dielectric reflective coatings is expected to critically limit the sensitivity of precision measurement systems such as high-re…
Investigation of mechanical losses of thin silicon flexures at low temperatures
R. Nawrodt, C. Schwarz, S. Kroker +15
The investigation of the mechanical loss of different silicon flexures in a temperature region from 5 to 300 K is presented. The flexures have been prepared by different fabricatio…
