The Lunar Gravitational-wave Antenna: Mission Studies and Science Case
Parameswaran Ajith, Pau Amaro Seoane, Manuel Arca Sedda +83
The Lunar Gravitational-wave Antenna (LGWA) is a proposed array of next-generation inertial sensors to monitor the response of the Moon to gravitational waves (GWs). Given the size…
Transverse Mode Control in Quantum Enhanced Interferometers: A Review and Recommendations for a New Generation
Aaron W. Goodwin-Jones, Ricardo Cabrita, Mikhail Korobko +7
Adaptive optics has made significant advancement over the past decade, becoming the essential technology in a wide variety of applications, particularly in the realm of quantum opt…
Single and coupled cavity mode sensing schemes using a diagnostic field
Aaron W. Goodwin-Jones, Haochen Zhu, Carl Blair +4
Precise optical mode matching is of critical importance in experiments using squeezed-vacuum states. Automatic spatial-mode matching schemes have the potential to reduce losses and…
The alignment of the C3 Accelerator Structures with the Rasnik alignment system
Harry van der Graaf, Niels van Bakel, Bram Bouwens +8
The Rasnik 3-point alignment system, now widely applied in particle physics experiments and in the instrumentation of gravitational wave experiments, can be used as N-point alignme…
The payload of the Lunar Gravitational-wave Antenna
Joris van Heijningen, Marcel ter Brake, Oliver Gerberding +12
The toolbox to study the Universe grew on 14 September 2015 when the LIGO-Virgo collaboration heard a signal from two colliding black holes between 30-250 Hz. Since then, many more…
Virgo Detector Characterization and Data Quality: tools
F. Acernese, M. Agathos, A. Ain +491
Detector characterization and data quality studies -- collectively referred to as {\em DetChar} activities in this article -- are paramount to the scientific exploitation of the jo…
Virgo Detector Characterization and Data Quality: results from the O3 run
F. Acernese, M. Agathos, A. Ain +491
The Advanced Virgo detector has contributed with its data to the rapid growth of the number of detected gravitational-wave (GW) signals in the past few years, alongside the two Adv…
ETpathfinder: a cryogenic testbed for interferometric gravitational-wave detectors
A. Utina, A. Amato, J. Arends +112
The third-generation of gravitational wave observatories, such as the Einstein Telescope (ET) and Cosmic Explorer (CE), aim for an improvement in sensitivity of at least a factor o…
Virgo Detector Characterization and Data Quality during the O3 run
F. Acernese, M. Agathos, A. Ain +491
The Advanced Virgo detector has contributed with its data to the rapid growth of the number of detected gravitational-wave signals in the past few years, alongside the two LIGO ins…
The Virgo O3 run and the impact of the environment
F. Acernese, M. Agathos, A. Ain +486
Sources of geophysical noise (such as wind, sea waves and earthquakes) or of anthropogenic noise impact ground-based gravitational-wave interferometric detectors, causing transient…
The ultimate performance of the Rasnik 3-point alignment system
Harry van der Graaf, Alessandro Bertolini, Joris van Heijningen +4
The Rasnik system is a 3-point optical displacement monitor with sub-nanometer precision. The CCD-Rasnik alignment system was developed in 1993 for the monitoring of the alignment…
Calibration of Advanced Virgo and Reconstruction of the Gravitational Wave Signal h(t) during the Observing Run O2
Virgo Collaboration, F. Acernese, T. Adams +281
In August 2017, Advanced Virgo joined Advanced LIGO for the end of the O2 run, leading to the first gravitational waves detections with the three-detector network. This paper descr…
Construction of KAGRA: an Underground Gravitational Wave Observatory
T. Akutsu, M. Ando, S. Araki +222
Major construction and initial-phase operation of a second-generation gravitational-wave detector KAGRA has been completed. The entire 3-km detector is installed underground in a m…
