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…
Narrow spectral artifact investigation and mitigation in LIGO data from the fourth LIGO-Virgo-KAGRA observing run
E. Goetz, A. Neunzert, A. M. Knee +260
We present efforts to identify, characterize, and mitigate narrow spectral artifacts in LIGO detector data during the fourth LIGO-Virgo-KAGRA observing run. Narrow spectral artifac…
Achieving Full Coverage of the SME Minimal Matter Sector
Facundo Martin Lopez, Zhiyu Zhang, Bianca Rose Lott +1
Existing experiments and data sets can be leveraged to obtain additional sensitivities to Lorentz violation, beyond those originally sought, through a more precise consideration of…
Expanding the Reach of Laboratory SME Searches Using Higher-Precision Boost Transformations
Jay D. Tasson
Additional sensitivities to Lorentz violation can be obtained from existing experiments by considering additional boost-suppressed effects. The additional Lorentz-violating signals…
Complete-Coverage Searches for Lorentz Violation in the Minimal Matter Sector
Marshall J. Basson, Eric Biddulph-West, Caitlyn Holl +7
Over the past several decades, dozens of tests have sought the 132 Lorentz-violating degrees of freedom in the nonrelativistic limit of the minimal matter sector of the Standard-Mo…
Computation and Experimentation as Equal Partners in a Modern Physics Lab Exercise
Martha-Elizabeth Baylor, Luis A. Miranda Almanzar, Adward Frazier +2
Experience with experimental and computational work are important components of students' understanding of the practice of physics. Physics departments typically use specific exper…
