Charging of free-falling test masses in orbit due to cosmic rays: results from LISA Pathfinder
LISA Pathfinder Collaboration, M. Armano, H. Audley +72
A comprehensive summary of the measurements made to characterize test mass charging due to the space environment during the LISA Pathfinder mission is presented. Measurements of th…
Spot size estimation of flat-top beams in space-based gravitational wave detectors
Zhen-Xiang Hao, Tim Haase, Hong-Bo Jin +4
Motivated by the necessity of a high-quality stray light control in the detection of the gravitational waves in space, the spot size of a flat top beam generated by the clipping of…
Method comparison for simulating non-Gaussian Beams and Diffraction for Precision Interferometry
Mengyuan Zhao, Yazheng Tao, Kevin Weber +4
In the context of simulating precision laser interferometers, we compare via several examples two wavefront decomposition methods: the Mode Expansion Method (MEM) and the Gaussian…
Non-geometric tilt-to-length coupling in precision interferometry: mechanisms and analytical descriptions
Marie-Sophie Hartig, Sönke Schuster, Gerhard Heinzel +1
This paper is the second in a set of two investigating tilt-to-length (TTL) coupling. TTL describes the cross-coupling of angular or translational jitter into an interferometric ph…
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…
Geometric tilt-to-length coupling in precision interferometry: mechanisms and analytical descriptions
Marie-Sophie Hartig, Sönke Schuster, Gudrun Wanner
Tilt-to-length coupling is a technical term for the cross-coupling of angular or lateral jitter into an interferometric phase signal. It is an important noise source in precision i…
