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 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 کاملThe Virgo 3 km interferometer for gravitational wave detection
VIRGO, a French-Italian collaboration located in Cascina (Pisa, Italy) aiming at the detection of gravitational waves, is a ground based power recycled Michelson interferometer, which arms are 3-km-long Fabry-Perot suspended cavities. The VIRGO first scientific data taking has started in mid may 2007 in coincidence with the corresponding American detectors. The optical scheme of the interferome...
متن کاملThe Status of Gravitational Wave Astronomy
The existence of gravitational radiation is a direct prediction of Einstein’s theory of general relativity, published in 1916. The observation of gravitational radiation will open a new astronomical window on the universe, allowing the study of dynamic strong-field gravity, as well as many other astrophysical objects and processes impossible to observe with electromagnetic radiation. The relati...
