Advanced Virgo Plus for O5 -- Design Report Overview
F. Acernese, A. Agapito, D. Agarwal +578
This document presents an overview of the design, implementation, and expected performance of the Advanced Virgo Plus (AdV+) upgrades in view of the O5 observing run. Following the…
Non-Smooth Multi-objective Controller Synthesis for Test-Mass Actuation in Gravitational-Wave Detectors
Sander K. Sijtsma, Pooya Saffarieh, Nathan A. Holland +3
This paper proposes a non-smooth controller optimization method and shows the results of ongoing research on the implementation of this method for gravitational wave applications.…
Angular control noise in Advanced Virgo and implications for the Einstein Telescope
Riccardo Maggiore, Paolo Ruggi, Andreas Freise +8
With significantly improved sensitivity, the Einstein Telescope (ET), along with other upcoming gravitational wave detectors, will mark the beginning of precision gravitational wav…
Sensors and Actuators for the Advanced LIGO+ Upgrade
S J Cooper, C M Mow-Lowry, D Hoyland +6
As part of the Advanced LIGO+ (A+) project we have developed, produced, and characterised sensors and electronics to interrogate new optical suspensions. The central element is a d…
Active platform stabilisation with a 6D seismometer
Amit Singh Ubhi, Leonid Prokhorov, Sam Cooper +9
We demonstrate the control scheme of an active platform with a six degree of freedom (6D) seismometer. The inertial sensor simultaneously measures translational and tilt degrees of…
ETpathfinder: a cryogenic testbed for interferometric gravitational-wave detectors
A. Utina, A. Amato, J. Arends +112
The third-generation of gravitational wave observatories, such as the Einstein Telescope (ET) and Cosmic Explorer (CE), aim for an improvement in sensitivity of at least a factor o…
