Advanced VIRGO: detector optimization for gravitational waves by inspiralling binaries
An advanced European detector is currently considered. A strong R&D program will be necessary to improve the actual sensitivity of VIRGO and GEO. Naturally such effort must aim to optimize detection, given limited budget and manpower. Among sources, coalescing binaries appear among the most interesting and known. Thus, improvements in signal to noise ratio (S/N) by noise abatement in VIRGO, for...
متن کاملAn interferometric gravitational wave detector as a quantum-gravity apparatus
As a consequence of the extreme precision of the measurements it performs, a LIGO/VIRGO-type interferometric gravitational wave detector (IGWD) is a macroscopic apparatus for which quantum effects are not negligible. We observe that this property of IGWDs can be exploited to probe some aspects of the interface between Quantum Mechanics and Gravity. In particular, we find that IGWDs can test two...
متن کاملQuantum noise in second generation, signal-recycled laser interferometric gravitational-wave detectors
It has long been thought that the sensitivity of laser interferometric gravitational-wave detectors is limited by the free-mass standard quantum limit, unless radical redesigns of the interferometers or modifications of their input or output optics are introduced. Within a fully quantum-mechanical approach we show that in a secondgeneration interferometer composed of arm cavities and a signal r...
متن کاملTriple Michelson Interferometer for a Third-Generation Gravitational Wave Detector
The upcoming European design study ‘Einstein gravitational wave Telescope’ represents the first step towards a substantial, international effort for the design of a third-generation interferometric gravitational wave detector. It is generally believed that third generation instruments cannot be installed into existing infrastructures but will require a new search for optimal detector sites. Con...
متن کاملProspects for Observing and Localizing Gravitational-Wave Transients with Advanced LIGO and Advanced Virgo
We present a possible observing scenario for the Advanced LIGO and Advanced Virgo gravitational-wave detectors over the next decade, with the intention of providing information to the astronomy community to facilitate planning for multi-messenger astronomy with gravitational waves. We determine the expected sensitivity of the network to transient gravitational-wave signals, and study the capabi...
