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…
Potential mechanical loss mechanisms in bulk materials for future gravitational wave detectors
D Heinert, A Grib, K Haughian +8
Low mechanical loss materials are needed to further decrease thermal noise in upcoming gravitational wave detectors. We present an analysis of the contribution of Akhieser and ther…
