Scientific Potential of Einstein Telescope
B. Sathyaprakash, M. Abernathy, F. Acernese +138
Einstein gravitational-wave Telescope (ET) is a design study funded by the European Commission to explore the technological challenges of and scientific benefits from building a th…
The Search for Gravitational Waves
Jim Hough, Sheila Rowan, B. S. Sathyaprakash
Experiments aimed at searching for gravitational waves from astrophysical sources have been under development for the last 40 years, but only now are sensitivities reaching the lev…
Mechanical Loss in Tantala/Silica Dielectric Mirror Coatings
Steven D. Penn, Peter H. Sneddon, Helena Armandula +13
Current interferometric gravitational wave detectors use test masses with mirror coatings formed from multiple layers of dielectric materials, most commonly alternating layers of S…
Thermal noise in interferometric gravitational wave detectors due to dielectric optical coatings
Gregory M. Harry, Andri M. Gretarsson, Peter R. Saulson +9
We report on thermal noise from the internal friction of dielectric coatings made from alternating layers of Ta2O5 and SiO2 deposited on fused silica substrates. We present calcula…
Excess Mechanical Loss Associated with Dielectric Mirror Coatings on Test Masses in Interferometric Gravitational Wave Detectors
D. R. M. Crooks, P. Sneddon, G. Cagnoli +9
Interferometric gravitational wave detectors use mirrors whose substrates are formed from materials of low intrinsic mechanical dissipation. The two most likely choices for the tes…
