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…

Scattered light noise at LIGO Livingston Observatory during O4

Debasmita Nandi, Anamaria Effler, Siddharth Soni +6

Scattered light is one of the most common sources of noise in the LIGO gravitational wave detectors. Light scattering is a highly non-linear process through which motion at low fre…

Modeling and Reduction of High Frequency Scatter Noise at LIGO Livingston

Siddharth Soni, Jane Glanzer, Anamaria Effler +4

The sensitivity of aLIGO detectors is adversely affected by the presence of noise caused by light scattering. Low frequency seismic disturbances can create higher frequency scatter…

Noise in the LIGO Livingston Gravitational Wave Observatory due to Trains

Jane Glanzer, Siddharth Soni, Jaidyn Spoon +2

Environmental seismic disturbances limit the sensitivity of LIGO gravitational wave detectors. Trains near the LIGO Livingston detector produce low frequency (0.5-10 Hz) ground noi…
