First Experimental Evaluation of Stray Light Noise Modeling of kilometers-long Beam Tube Arms of Gravitational Wave Detectors
Emilia Chick, Timothy O'Hanlon, Hiro Yamamoto +3
We present the results of the first experimental evaluation of stray light noise models for LIGO beam tube baffles. We combine the results of a testing campaign at LIGO Livingston…
A Cryogenic Silicon Interferometer for Gravitational-wave Detection
Rana X Adhikari, Odylio Aguiar, Koji Arai +108
The detection of gravitational waves from compact binary mergers by LIGO has opened the era of gravitational wave astronomy, revealing a previously hidden side of the cosmos. To ma…
The US Program in Ground-Based Gravitational Wave Science: Contribution from the LIGO Laboratory
David Reitze, Rich Abbott, Carl Adams +181
Recent gravitational-wave observations from the LIGO and Virgo observatories have brought a sense of great excitement to scientists and citizens the world over. Since September 201…
Observation of Parametric Instability in Advanced LIGO
Matthew Evans, Slawek Gras, Peter Fritschel +41
Parametric instabilities have long been studied as a potentially limiting effect in high-power interferometric gravitational wave detectors. Until now, however, these instabilities…
