Photon pressure induced test mass deformation in gravitational-wave detectors
S. Hild, M. Brinkmann, K. Danzmann +14
A widely used assumption within the gravitational-wave community has so far been that a test mass acts like a rigid body for frequencies in the detection band, i.e. for frequencies…
On the mechanical quality factors of cryogenic test masses from fused silica and crystalline quartz
Anja Schroeter, Ronny Nawrodt, Roman Schnabel +11
Current interferometric gravitational wave detectors (IGWDs) are operated at room temperature with test masses made from fused silica. Fused silica shows very low absorption at the…
Thermal diagnostic of the Optical Window on board LISA Pathfinder
M. Nofrarias, A. F. Garcia Marin, A. Lobo +4
Vacuum conditions inside the LTP Gravitational Reference Sensor must comply with rather demanding requirements. The Optical Window (OW) is an interface which seals the vacuum enclo…
Local readout enhancement for detuned signal-recycling interferometers
Henning Rehbein, Helge Mueller-Ebhardt, Kentaro Somiya +4
Motivated by the optical-bar scheme of Braginsky, Gorodetsky and Khalili, we propose to add to a high power detuned signal-recycling interferometer a local readout scheme which mea…
Upper limits on gravitational wave emission from 78 radio pulsars
The LIGO Scientific Collaboration, B. Abbott, M. Kramer +1
We present upper limits on the gravitational wave emission from 78 radio pulsars based on data from the third and fourth science runs of the LIGO and GEO600 gravitational wave dete…
The LTP Experiment on the LISA Pathfinder Mission
S. Vitale
We report on the development of the LISA Technology Package (LTP) experiment that will fly on board the LISA Pathfinder mission of the European Space Agency in 2008. We first summa…
