In-depth analysis of LISA Pathfinder performance results: Time evolution, noise projection, physical models, and implications for LISA
M. Armano, H. Audley, J. Baird +77
We present an in-depth analysis of the LISA Pathfinder differential acceleration performance over the entire course of its science operations, spanning approximately 500 days. We f…
NanoNewton electrostatic force actuators for femtoNewton-sensitive measurements: system performance test in the LISA Pathfinder mission
M Armano, H Audley, J Baird +87
Electrostatic force actuation is a key component of the system of geodesic reference test masses (TM) for the LISA orbiting gravitational wave observatory and in particular for per…
Transient acceleration events in LISA Pathfinder data: properties and possible physical origin
LISA Pathfinder Collaboration
We present an in depth analysis of the transient events, or glitches, detected at a rate of about one per day in the differential acceleration data of LISA Pathfinder. We show that…
Estimation of the electrostatic effects in the LISA-Pathfinder critical test mass dynamics via the method of moments
Carlo Zanoni, Daniele Bortoluzzi
LISA-Pathfinder is an ESA space mission flown between 2015 and 2017 to demonstrate a technological maturity sufficient for building a gravitational waves telescope in space, such a…
Design and Vertical Tests of SPS-series Double-Quarter Wave (DQW) Cavity Prototypes for the HL-LHC Crab Cavity System
S. Verdú-Andrés, K. Artoos, S. Belomestnykh +22
Crab crossing is essential for high-luminosity colliders. The High Luminosity Large Hadron Collider (HL-LHC) will equip one of its Interaction Points (IP1) with Double-Quarter Wave…
Characteristics and energy dependence of recurrent galactic cosmic-ray flux depressions and of a Forbush decrease with LISA Pathfinder
M. Armano, H. Audley, J. Baird +82
Galactic cosmic-ray (GCR) energy spectra observed in the inner heliosphere are modulated by the solar activity, the solar polarity and structures of solar and interplanetary origin…
Charge-induced force-noise on free-falling test masses: results from LISA Pathfinder
M. Armano, H. Audley, G. Auger +91
We report on electrostatic measurements made on board the European Space Agency mission LISA Pathfinder. Detailed measurements of the charge-induced electrostatic forces exerted on…
Preliminary Design Study of the Hollow Electron Lens for LHC
Diego Perini, Carlo Zanoni
A Hollow Electron Lens (HEL) has been proposed in order to improve performance of halo control and collimation in the Large Hadron Collider in view of its High Luminosity upgrade (…
The Design of a Drag-Free CubeSat and the Housing for its Gravitational Reference Sensor
Carlo Zanoni, Abdul Alfauwaz, Ahmad Aljadaan +11
A Drag-Free CubeSat mission has been proposed to demonstrate the feasibility of a Gravitational Reference Sensor (GRS) with an optical readout for a 3 units (3U) spacecraft. A pure…
Drag-free Spacecraft Technologies: criticalities in the initialization of geodesic motion
Carlo Zanoni
Present and future space missions rely on systems of increasingly demanding performance for being successful. Drag-free technology is one of the technologies that is fundamental fo…
Free-flight experiments in LISA Pathfinder
M. Armano, H. Audley, G. Auger +89
The LISA Pathfinder mission will demonstrate the technology of drag-free test masses for use as inertial references in future space-based gravitational wave detectors. To accomplis…
