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,…
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…
A Cryogenic Silicon Interferometer for Gravitational-wave Detection
Rana X Adhikari, Odylio Aguiar, Koji Arai +108
The detection of gravitational waves from compact binary mergers by LIGO has opened the era of gravitational wave astronomy, revealing a previously hidden side of the cosmos. To ma…
Improving astrophysical parameter estimation via offline noise subtraction for Advanced LIGO
J. C. Driggers, S. Vitale, A. P. Lundgren +228
The Advanced LIGO detectors have recently completed their second observation run successfully. The run lasted for approximately 10 months and lead to multiple new discoveries. The…
