Gravity waves
• Recipe to generate GW• You throw a couple of solar masses in Tahoe lake• You throw another couple of solar masses in
Truckee city• You let them orbit until the fall on each other• The star-quake that ensues strains space-time and
GW radiate out

Gravity waves
• GW are quadrupolar, to conserve energy and impulse
• They deform ellipsoidally a set of masses arranged on a circle
• The amount of cyclic deformation on Earth for an inspiral in our galaxy is expected to be h~10-21

How to detect GW
• You suspend 4 heavy mirrors, each two separated by ~4 Km and arrange them in a L configuration
• You add a beam splitter at the corner and build a Michelson interferometer (with Fabry Perot light accumulators in the arms)
• The differential signal is the GW signal• You make several for coincidence and
triangulation

Can we measure 10-18 m
• We built the instruments• It takes years to tune them up• The LIGO commissioning is quite advanced• Within a factor of 2 from design at 100 Hz
• Virgo 2 years behind, but coming soon
![Page 14: Gravity Wave Detectors Riccardo DeSalvo - LIGO](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062323/56815d54550346895dcb5edc/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)

What happens if you tune the detectors at lower frequency
• Comparing Advanced LIGO with an interferometer tuned at the lower frequency band
• When an interferometer is tuned below 30 Hz it starts being sensitive to Newtonian Noise
(bifurcation on the left for = 1 and = 0.1)
![Page 16: Gravity Wave Detectors Riccardo DeSalvo - LIGO](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062323/56815d54550346895dcb5edc/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)

The Newtonian Noise problem
• The Newtonian Noise (also known as Gravity Gradient) is
• a limit energized by seismic waves that generates a wall with ~ f4 slope
• Changes of amplitude according to the local and dayly seismic activity
![Page 18: Gravity Wave Detectors Riccardo DeSalvo - LIGO](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062323/56815d54550346895dcb5edc/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)

Reducing Newtonian Noise• NN derives from the varying rock density induced by seismic
waves around the test mass• It generates fluctuating gravitational forces indistinguishable
from Gravity Waves• It is composed of two parts,
1. The movement of the rock surfaces or interfaces buffeted by the seismic waves
2. The variations of rock density caused by the pressure waves
![Page 20: Gravity Wave Detectors Riccardo DeSalvo - LIGO](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062323/56815d54550346895dcb5edc/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
NN reduction underground• How to shape the environment’s surface to minimize NN?• The dominant term of NN is the rock-to-air interface
movement• On the surface this edge is the flat surface of ground
seismic motion leads to
Ground surface

NN reduction underground• If the cavern housing the suspended test mass is shaped symmetrically
along the beam line and around the test mass tilting and surface deformations, the dominant terms of NN, cancel out
– (with the exception of the longitudinal dipole moment, which can be measured and subtracted).
atilting leads to fluctuating attraction force
![Page 22: Gravity Wave Detectors Riccardo DeSalvo - LIGO](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062323/56815d54550346895dcb5edc/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
NN reduction underground• Pressure seismic waves induce fluctuating rock density around the test
mass• The result is also fluctuating gravitational forces on the test mass
![Page 23: Gravity Wave Detectors Riccardo DeSalvo - LIGO](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062323/56815d54550346895dcb5edc/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
NN reduction underground• Larger caves induce smaller test mass perturbations• The noise reduction is proportional to 1/r3
• The longitudinal direction is more important =>elliptic cave

• Additionally deep rocks, if uniform, elastic, transmitting and non dissipative, can be measured with a small number of seismometers (or better density meters) to predict its seismic induced density fluctuations and subtract them from the test mass movements
– This subtraction is largely impeded on the surface by the fractal-like character of the rubble composing surface soil

How do we get rid of your signal
• We build seismic attenuation chains• The initial part is variable• All seismic attenuation systems end with
alternating pendula and vertical springs
![Page 28: Gravity Wave Detectors Riccardo DeSalvo - LIGO](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062323/56815d54550346895dcb5edc/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)

Examples of LF vertical springs
• A payload (1/3 t) is suspended from a pair (or a crown for larger payloads) of cantilever leaf springs.
• The vertical resonant frequency is reduced by radially compressing the leaf springs in antagonistic mode (Geometric Anti Springs)

Tidal Strain rejection
Reject common mode Tidal strain (<mHz)• Clamp laser wavelength to common arm lengthReject differential mode Tidal strain (<mHz)• Track strain with top of attenuation chain
All LF strain NOISE efficiently cancelled!

How to recover strain signal• Below 50 mHz• Compare wavelength with the reference cavity or with
a suitably stabilized laser• Keep track of the signal from the osition sensor at the
top of the chain
• Above 50 mHz• Install auxiliary interferometers between test masses
and monuments– Intrusive if precision below 10-8 m needed
