Is it important to build a LF-GWID ?: Is it important to build a LF-GWID ? Reasons for a Low FrequencyGravitational Wave Interferometic Detector: Reasons for a Low Frequency Gravitational Wave Interferometic Detector Also some technical reasons: As the mirror thermal floor is pushed low the canyon between radiation pressure noise and shot noise walls becomes narrower Technical reason Narrowing canyons: Technical reason Narrowing canyons Any improvement of thermal noise narrows the sensitivity canyon In these specific conditions we can take advantage only of another or magnitude of thermal noise before the canyon closes Shifting the canyons: Shifting the canyons To efficiently cover a large frequency span it is necessary to build dedicated Interferometers each optimized at various frequency ranges Reasons for a Low FrequencyGravitational Wave Interferometic Detector: Reasons for a Low Frequency Gravitational Wave Interferometic Detector Need to implement twin interferometers in the same vacuum enclosure Complementary in frequency range Separately cover the high and low frequency range at LF not having power limitations, fused silica is probably better than sapphire Slide8: Comparing the canyon bottoms DifferentTN slope of Sapphire Best at high frequency Also needed to dissipate high power and Fused Silica Best at low frequency Slide9: Annealing seems to expose the plunge to zero dissipation at zero frequency Kenji Numata Slide10: Surface and Coating losses? Let me cheat for a moment 10-9 10-10 1000 Hz 100 Hz Bottom of canyon? Ingredients for LF-GWID: Ingredients for LF-GWID 1 Seismic Attenuation OK 2 Control schemes OK 3 Mirror suspensions (today’s focus) 4 Mirrors A Substrates probably OK B Coatings remains to be seen 5 Optical layout low power, will find solutions Next prioriry towards a LF-GWID: Next prioriry towards a LF-GWID The stumbling block for a Low Frequency Gravitational Wave Interferometer is Suspension Thermal Noise Slide13: This is the 1st enemy This is the 2nd enemy 3 Suspension thermal noise: 3 Suspension thermal noise Main Argument of presentation Glassy metal flex joints An alternative to fused silica at low frequency? Suspension thermal noise: Suspension thermal noise Cryogenics, a tough but in the long term almost sure bet If we can reach the bottom of the valley at room temperature, why bother? Is there an suspension alternative at room temperature and low frequency? Glassy metal flex joints Analyze metal vs. fused silica Slide16: Factor of three improvement over steel wires reported for GEO by Norna Robertson. Intrinsic limitations Factor of three improvement over steel wires reported for GEO by Norna Robertson. Progress limited by intrinsic limitations Alternative Suspension Solutionsmetallic flex joints: Alternative Suspension Solutions metallic flex joints Metallic Flex joints have been evaluated in the past for mirror suspensions (D. Blair et al.) Metals start disadvantaged with respect with glasses because of lower intrinsic Q-factors (andlt;10,000 for metals).
