Mechanical Long Baseline Differential Gradiometers as Low Frequency Gravitational Wave Detectors

Enrico Calloni, Annalisa Allocca, Antonino Chiummo +12

We present a new differential mechanical gradiometer for the detection of low-frequency Gravitational Waves. The frequency range is 0.05 to 1 Hz, a frequency gap not covered either…

Design and implementation of a seismic Newtonian-noise cancellation system for the Virgo gravitational-wave detector

Soumen Koley, Jan Harms, Annalisa Allocca +23

Terrestrial gravity perturbations caused by seismic fields produce the so-called Newtonian noise in gravitational-wave detectors, which is predicted to limit their sensitivity in t…
