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…
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…
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…
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…
Indirect Evidence for Lévy Walks in Squeeze Film Damping
Stephan Schlamminger, Charles A. Hagedorn, Jens H. Gundlach
Molecular flow gas damping of mechanical motion in confined geometries, and its associated noise, is important in a variety of fields, including precision measurement, gravitationa…
Charge Management for Gravitational Wave Observatories using UV LEDs
S. E. Pollack, M. D. Turner, S. Schlamminger +2
Accumulation of electrical charge on the end mirrors of gravitational wave observatories, such as the space-based LISA mission and ground-based LIGO detectors, can become a source…
