Optimization of thermal noise in multi-loop pendulum suspensions for use in interferometric gravitational-wave detectors
We study the thermal-noise spectrum of multi-loop pendulum suspensions for test masses in interferometric gravitational-wave detectors. The dependence of the thermal noise on suspension parameters and on properties of the wire material is discussed for the situation in which the losses are dominated by the internal friction in the pendulum wires.

LIGO: The Laser Interferometer Gravitational-Wave Observatory The LIGO Scientific Collaboration The goal of the Laser Interferometric Gravitational-WaveObservatory (LIGO) is to detect and study gravitational waves of astrophysical origin. Direct detection of gravitational waves holds the promise of testing general relativity in the strong-field limit, of providing a new probe of exotic objects ...
متن کاملSubtraction-noise projection in gravitational-wave detector networks
In this paper, we present a successful implementation of a subtraction-noise projection method into a simple, simulated data analysis pipeline of a gravitational-wave search. We investigate the problem to reveal a weak stochastic background signal which is covered by a strong foreground of compact-binary coalescences. The foreground, which is estimated by matched filters, has to be subtracted f...
متن کاملAngular instability due to radiation pressure in the LIGO gravitational-wave detector.
We observed the effect of radiation pressure on the angular sensing and control system of the Laser Interferometer Gravitational-Wave Observatory (LIGO) interferometer's core optics at LIGO Hanford Observatory. This is the first measurement of this effect in a complete gravitational-wave interferometer. Only one of the two angular modes survives with feedback control, because the other mode is ...
متن کاملOptimizing the regimes of the Advanced LIGO gravitational wave detector for multiple source types
We developed algorithms which allow us to find regimes of the signal-recycled Fabry-Perot–Michelson interferometer [for example, the Advanced Laser Interferometric Gravitational Wave Observatory (LIGO)], optimized concurrently for two (binary inspirals þ bursts) and three (binary inspirals þ bursts þ millisecond pulsars) types of gravitational wave sources. We show that there exists a relativel...
