Advanced Virgo during the LIGO-Virgo-KAGRA fourth observing run
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…
In-situ total scattering investigation of crystalline ordering in amorphous ion-beam sputtered thin films for interferometric gravitational wave detectors
Alberto Martinelli, Giulio Favaro, Giacomo Ciani +9
Amorphous tantala is an important optical material used in a number of high-precision optical applications, including gravitational wave interferometry. In this paper, we study in-…
Elastic and structural anisotropy in silica thin films for gravitational-wave detectors
Brenda Bracco, Michele Magnozzi, Stefano Colace +11
The thermal noise of mirror coatings for gravitational-wave detectors critically depends on the elastic properties of the constituent materials. Data analyses and theoretical model…
