LIGO Detector Characterization in the Second and Third Parts of the Fourth Observing Run
J. Glanzer, A. F. Helmling-Cornell, A. Calafat +244
LIGO detector characterization efforts enabled the confident detection of gravitational waves from hundreds of compact binary coalescences during the fourth observing run. Reliable…
Improving cosmological reach of a gravitational wave observatory using Deep Loop Shaping
Jonas Buchli, Brendan Tracey, Tomislav Andric +28
Improved low-frequency sensitivity of gravitational wave observatories would unlock study of intermediate-mass black hole mergers, binary black hole eccentricity, and provide early…
LIGO Detector Characterization in the first half of the fourth Observing run
S. Soni, B. K. Berger, D. Davis +232
Progress in gravitational-wave astronomy depends upon having sensitive detectors with good data quality. Since the end of the LIGO-Virgo-KAGRA third Observing run in March 2020, de…
Point Absorber Limits to Future Gravitational-Wave Detectors
W. Jia, H. Yamamoto, K. Kuns +198
High-quality optical resonant cavities require low optical loss, typically on the scale of parts per million. However, unintended micron-scale contaminants on the resonator mirrors…
LIGOs Quantum Response to Squeezed States
L. McCuller, S. E. Dwyer, A. C. Green +194
Gravitational Wave interferometers achieve their profound sensitivity by combining a Michelson interferometer with optical cavities, suspended masses, and now, squeezed quantum sta…
Approaching the motional ground state of a 10 kg object
Chris Whittle, Evan D. Hall, Sheila Dwyer +197
The motion of a mechanical object -- even a human-sized object -- should be governed by the rules of quantum mechanics. Coaxing them into a quantum state is, however, difficult: th…
