A MIMO approach for longitudinal sensing and control noise projections of Advanced Virgo gravitational wave detector Open
So far, the sensitivity of gravitational-wave (GW) detectors, in the low-frequency and mid-frequency regions of its bandwidth, has been limited by technical noises. The re-injection of sensing and control noises can be one of the main limi…

First joint observation by the underground gravitational-wave detector KAGRA with GEO 600 Open
We report the results of the first joint observation of the KAGRA detector with GEO 600. KAGRA is a cryogenic and underground gravitational-wave detector consisting of a laser interferometer with 3 km arms, located in Kamioka, Gifu, Japan.…

A high angular resolution interferometric backscatter meter Open
Backscatter limits many interferometric measurements, including gravitational wave detectors, by creating spurious interference. We describe an experimental method to directly and quantitatively measure the backscatter interference. We der…

Interferometer Sensing and Control for the Advanced Virgo Experiment in the O3 Scientific Run Open
Advanced Virgo is a 2nd-generation laser interferometer based in Cascina (Italy) aimed at the detection of gravitational waves (GW) from astrophysical sources. Together with the two USA-based LIGO interferometers they constitute a network …

Scattered light noise characterisation at the Virgo interferometer with tvf-EMD adaptive algorithm Open
A methodology of adaptive time series analysis, based on Empirical Mode Decomposition (EMD), and on its time varying version tvf-EMD has been applied to strain data from the gravitational wave interferometer (IFO) Virgo in order to charact…

GEO 600 and the GEO-HF upgrade program: successes and challenges Open
The German–British laser-interferometric gravitational wave detector GEO 600 is in its 14th year of operation since its first lock in 2001. After GEO 600 participated in science runs with other first-generation detectors, a program known a…

Cost–benefit analysis for commissioning decisions in GEO 600 Open
Gravitational wave (GW) interferometers are complex instruments, requiring years of commissioning to achieve the required sensitivities for the detection of GWs, of order lesssim10−21 in dimensionless detector strain, in the tens of Hz to …
