Performance Variance of Low Noise Resonant Capacitance Bridges While Replacing their Ungapped MnZn Ferrite Cores
S. Saraf, S. Buchman, C. Y. Lui +2
Precision AC resonant capacitance bridges, with a planar printed circuit board transformer using an ungapped MnZn ferrite core, have shown excellent noise performance in high-preci…
Noise and Thermal Performance of a Sub-Attofarad Capacitance Sensor for Precision Measurements, with Applications in Gravitational Wave Detectors
S. Saraf, S. Buchman, C. Y. Lui +2
We describe the design principles, fabrication, and characterization of a precision AC resonant capacitance bridge (RCB) sensor, based on a resonant differential planar printed cir…
MFB: A Mid-Frequency-Band Space Gravitational Wave Observer for the 2020 Decade
Peter F. Michelson, Robert L. Byer, Sasha Buchman +3
We make the case for the early development of a Mid-Frequency-Band (MFB) gravitational wave (GW) observatory in geosynchronous orbit (73,000 km arm), optimized for the frequency ba…
LISA-2020: An Intermediate Scale Space Gravitational Wave Observatory for This Decade
S. Buchman, J. A. Lipa, R. L. Byer +10
Over the last three decades, an exceptionally good science case has been made for pursuing gravitational wave (GW) astronomy. This has engendered a worldwide effort to detect the e…
Prospects for an advanced Kennedy-Thorndike experiment in low Earth orbit
J. A. Lipa, S. Buchman, S. Saraf +5
We discuss the potential for a small space mission to perform an advanced Kennedy-Thorndike test of Special Relativity using the large and rapid velocity modulation available in lo…
LAGRANGE: LAser GRavitational-wave ANtenna at GEo-lunar Lagrange points
J. W. Conklin, S. Buchman, V. Aguero +36
We describe a new space gravitational wave observatory design called LAGRANGE that maintains all important LISA science at about half the cost and with reduced technical risk. It c…
