Test of the Equivalence Principle for Superconductors
M. P. Ross, S. M. Fleischer, I. A. Paulson +9
We searched for violations of the weak equivalence principle using a cryogenic torsion balance with a pendulum comprised of superconducting niobium and copper. We constrain the Eöt…
A Cryogenic Torsion Balance Using a Liquid-Cryogen Free, Ultra-Low Vibration Cryostat
S. M. Fleischer, M. P. Ross, K. Venkateswara +5
We describe a liquid-cryogen free cryostat with ultra-low vibration levels which allows for continuous operation of a torsion balance at cryogenic temperatures. The apparatus uses…
Initial Results from the LIGO Newtonian Calibrator
Michael P. Ross, Timesh Mistry, Laurence Datrier +16
The precise calibration of the strain readout of the LIGO gravitational wave observatories is paramount to the accurate interpretation of gravitational wave events. This calibratio…
A Low-Frequency Torsion Pendulum with Interferometric Readout
M. P. Ross, K. Venkateswara, C. A. Hagedorn +6
We describe a torsion pendulum with a large mass-quadrupole moment and a resonant frequency of 2.8 mHz, whose angle is measured using a modified Michelson interferometer. The syste…
Limits on the Stochastic Gravitational Wave Background and Prospects for Single Source Detection with GRACE Follow-On
M. P. Ross, C. A. Hagedorn, E. A. Shaw +5
With a reinterpretation of recent results, the GRACE Follow-On mission can be applied to gravitational wave astronomy. Existing GRACE Follow-On data constrain the stochastic gravit…
Inter-Party Avalanche Involvements May Increase Quadratically With Party Density
Charles A. Hagedorn
We estimate, from first-principles, the rate of inter-party avalanche involvements. The model suggests that the likelihood of inter-party involvements is quadratic in the density o…
