Material loss angles from direct measurements of broadband thermal noise
Maria Principe, Innocenzo M. Pinto, Vincenzo Pierro +8
We estimate the loss angles of the materials currently used in the highly reflective test-mass coatings of interferometric detectors of gravitational waves, namely Silica, Tantala,…
