Cost-benefit analysis for commissioning decisions in GEO600
T. Adams, J. R. Leong, J. Slutsky +17
Gravitational wave interferometers are complex instruments, requiring years of commissioning to achieve the required sensitivities for the detection of gravitational waves, of orde…
Advanced Virgo: a 2nd generation interferometric gravitational wave detector
F. Acernese, M. Agathos, K. Agatsuma +231
Advanced Virgo is the project to upgrade the Virgo interferometric detector of gravitational waves, with the aim of increasing the number of observable galaxies (and thus the detec…
Reconstruction of the gravitational wave signal during the Virgo science runs and independent validation with a photon calibrator
Virgo collaboration, T. Accadia, F. Acernese +193
The Virgo detector is a kilometer-scale interferometer for gravitational wave detection located near Pisa (Italy). About 13 months of data were accumulated during four science runs…
First search for gravitational waves from the youngest known neutron star
LIGO Scientific Collaboration, J. Abadie, B. P. Abbott +537
We present a search for periodic gravitational waves from the neutron star in the supernova remnant Cassiopeia A. The search coherently analyzes data in a 12-day interval taken fro…
The upgrade of GEO600
Harald Lück, Christopf Affeldt, Jerome Degallaix +10
The German / British gravitational wave detector GEO 600 is in the process of being upgraded. The upgrading process of GEO 600, called GEO-HF, will concentrate on the improvement o…
DC-readout of a signal-recycled gravitational wave detector
S. Hild, H. Grote, J. Degallaix +10
All first-generation large-scale gravitational wave detectors are operated at the dark fringe and use a heterodyne readout employing radio frequency (RF) modulation-demodulation te…
