LIGO A: Detector Design and Science Prospects Beyond A+
L. Sun, K. Kuns, B. J. J. Slagmolen +1153
We present the LIGO A detector concept, an upgrade for the LIGO observatories based on room-temperature interferometers beyond the fifth observing run (O5). Building on th…
Extending Ground-Based Gravitational-Wave Sensitivity to 5 Hz
Amit Singh Ubhi, Lari Koponen, Jiri Smetana +11
Extending the sensitivity of terrestrial gravitational-wave detectors below 20 Hz is a long-standing challenge, limited by ground motion and inertial sensing noise. In this letter,…
Sensitivity and control of a 6-axis fused-silica seismometer
Jiri Smetana, Amit Singh Ubhi, Emilia Chick +12
We present a pair of seismometers capable of measurement in all six axes of rigid motion. The vacuum-compatible devices implement compact interferometric displacement sensors to su…
Design and sensitivity of a 6-axis seismometer for gravitational wave observatories
Leonid Prokhorov, Sam Cooper, Amit Singh Ubhi +13
We present the design, control system, and noise analysis of a 6-axis seismometer comprising a mass suspended by a single fused silica fibre. We utilise custom-made, compact Michel…
Cosmic Explorer: A Submission to the NSF MPSAC ngGW Subcommittee
Matthew Evans, Alessandra Corsi, Chaitanya Afle +73
Gravitational-wave astronomy has revolutionized humanity's view of the universe, a revolution driven by observations that no other field can make. This white paper describes an obs…
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…
