Observing Gravitational Waves with a Single Detector
A major challenge of any search for gravitational waves is to distinguish true astrophysical signals from those of terrestrial origin. Gravitational-wave experiments therefore make use of multiple detectors, considering only those signals which appear in coincidence in two or more instruments. It is unclear, however, how to interpret loud gravitational-wave candidates observed when only one det...
متن کاملWideband dual sphere detector of gravitational waves.
We present the concept of a sensitive and broadband resonant mass gravitational wave detector. A massive sphere is suspended inside a second hollow one. Short, high-finesse Fabry-Perot optical cavities read out the differential displacements of the two spheres as their quadrupole modes are excited. At cryogenic temperatures, one approaches the standard quantum limit for broadband operation with...
متن کاملVIRGO detector optimisation for gravitational waves by inspiralling binaries
For future configurations, we study the relation between the abatement of the noise sources and the Signal to Noise Ratio (SNR) for coalescing binaries. Our aim is not the proposition of a new design, but an indication of where in the bandwidth or for which noise source, a noise reduction would be most efficient. We take VIRGO as the reference for our considerations, solely applicable to the in...
متن کاملAdvanced 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 کاملHigh-frequency corrections to the detector response and their effect on searches for gravitational waves
Searches for gravitational waves with km-scale laser interferometers often involve the long-wavelength approximation to describe the detector response. The prevailing assumption is that the corrections to the detector response due to its finite size are small and the errors due to the long-wavelength approximation are negligible. Recently, however, Baskaran and Grishchuk (2004 Class. Quantum Gr...
