Virgo Collaboration, F Acernese, A Agapito +546
The paper reports on Advanced Virgo's participation in the fourth observing run (O4) of the global gravitational‑wave detector network, describing the commissioning of its new sign…
High-Stability Deformable Mirrors for Correcting Non-Axisymmetric Residual Aberrations in Thermal Compensation of Future Gravitational Wave Interferometers
Luciano Antonio Corubolo, Matteo Lorenzini, Lorenzo Aiello +9
In gravitational wave detectors, optical aberrations arise mainly from laser absorption in coatings and production process defects in the optics along the laser path. If left uncor…

This document presents an overview of the design, implementation, and expected performance of the Advanced Virgo Plus (AdV+) upgrades in view of the O5 observing run. Following the…
Extra force in charged resonant capacitors: a new macroscopic effect of vacuum fluctuations ?
Yury Minenkov, Massimo Bassan
We report on measurements of the mechanical vibrations of the fundamental mode of resonant capacitive transducers, consisting of parallel plates at different gaps (10 - 26 m).…
