Brownian force noise from molecular collisions and the sensitivity of advanced gravitational wave observatories
R. Dolesi, M. Hueller, D. Nicolodi +12
We present an analysis of Brownian force noise from residual gas damping of reference test masses as a fundamental sensitivity limit in small force experiments. The resulting accel…
Increased Brownian force noise from molecular impacts in a constrained volume
A. Cavalleri, G. Ciani, R. Dolesi +8
We report on residual gas damping of the motion of a macroscopic test mass enclosed in a nearby housing in the molecular flow regime. The damping coefficient, and thus the associat…
From laboratory experiments to LISA Pathfinder: achieving LISA geodesic motion
F Antonucci, M Armano, H Audley +98
This paper presents a quantitative assessment of the performance of the upcoming LISA Pathfinder geodesic explorer mission. The findings are based on the results of extensive groun…
Gas damping force noise on a macroscopic test body in an infinite gas reservoir
A. Cavalleri, G. Ciani, R. Dolesi +6
We present a simple analysis of the force noise associated with the mechanical damping of the motion of a test body surrounded by a large volume of rarefied gas. The calculation is…
Thermal gradient-induced forces on geodetic reference masses for LISA
L. Carbone, A. Cavalleri, G. Ciani +5
The low frequency sensitivity of space-borne gravitational wave observatories will depend critically on the geodetic purity of the trajectories of orbiting test masses. Fluctuation…
Upper limits to surface force disturbances on LISA proof masses and the possibility of observing galactic binaries
Ludovico Carbone, Giacomo Ciani, Rita Dolesi +5
We report on the measurement of parasitic surface force noise on a hollow replica of a LISA (Laser Interferometer Space Antenna for the observation of gravitational waves) proof ma…
