Kavli Affiliate: Brian Lantz | Summary:Control noise is a limiting factor in the low-frequency performance of the LIGO gravitational wave detectors. In this paper we model the effects of using new sensors called HoQIs to control the suspension resonances. We show if we were to use HoQIs, instead of the standard shadow sensors, we can […]
