Reducing the Virgo site infrastructure noise in preparation of the O4 observing run

Irene Fiori, Federico Paoletti, Roberto Passaquieti +5

The heating, ventilation and air conditioning systems serving the experimental halls of the Virgo gravitational wave interferometer generate low-frequency noise - namely below 100…

Characterization of the seismic field at Virgo and improved estimates of Newtonian-noise suppression by recesses

Ayatri Singha, Jan Harms, Stefan Hild +10

Fluctuations of gravitational forces cause so-called Newtonian noise (NN) in gravitational-wave (GW) detectors which is expected to limit their low-frequency sensitivity in upcomin…

The KAGRA underground environment and lessons for the Einstein Telescope

Francesca Badaracco, Camilla De Rossi, Irene Fiori +6

The KAGRA gravitational-wave detector in Japan is the only operating detector hosted in an underground infrastructure. Underground sites promise a greatly reduced contribution of t…

Machine learning for gravitational-wave detection: surrogate Wiener filtering for the prediction and optimized cancellation of Newtonian noise at Virgo

F Badaracco, J Harms, A Bertolini +9

The cancellation of noise from terrestrial gravity fluctuations, also known as Newtonian noise (NN), in gravitational-wave detectors is a formidable challenge. Gravity fluctuations…
