The noise sources concurring to define the sensitivity

  • For future Interferometer

Thermal Noise contributions

  • In addition Quantum Noise

can be the other main limiting noise source. Quantum Noise è Combination of radiation pressure and shot noise

  • If we want to increase the

sensitivity at very low frequency we have to beat the Seismic and Newtonian Noise barrier

In practice the control is based the following physical degrees

Several nested control loops: technical noise to be added to intrinsic sources of noise mainly at low frequency

In addition we have to control the angular degrees of freedom

Higher laser power Replaced 5 of 8 test masses (better optical quality) Added squeezed light injection systems New baffles to mitigate scattered light Improvements to various controls systems (seismic, alignment, etc) New ( more powerful ) laser Replaced the suspensions of the last stage to reduce the thermal noise ( monolithic fibers) Added squeezed light injection systems New faraday isolator and photodiodes Improvements to various controls systems (seismic, alignment, etc) LIGO Virgo

Target sensitivity: 40-60 Mpc as horizon for a NSNS 1.4 M at SNR=8 Main benefit from putting back the monolithic suspension Removing the steel wire thermal noise from noise budget gives a 20 Mpc range increase Theoretical limit of this configuration: 80 Mpc @13W

Upgrades between O2 and O3 in VIRGO

Main criteria applied to choose the new parts to be installed: just those new elements that they don’t require long commissioning time 18

Better sensitivity than O2 for all 3 instruments. As planned, shorter than usual commissioning time at all three sites for the first week. Coordination between the sites to maximize 3-IFO operation. At least one instrument tries to remain online at any given time. Very good triple coincidence: so far more than 40%. At least two interferometers 80% of the time. Only 1.1% with no interferometer in observation mode. O3 started in time on Mon Apr. 1st 2019 and it will last for 1 year

Advanced Virgo+

  • Phase I è budget secured

ü Signal recycling (not done in AdV yet) ü Higher laser power (AdV run with 18 W so far) ü Frequency dependent squeezing (frequency independent squeezing already done in AdV) ü Newtonian noise cancellation

  • Phase II

ü Further increase of laser power ü Larger and heavier end test masses : beam radius~10 cm radius , m ~ 100 kg ü Better coatings: lower mechanical losses, less point defects, better uniformity (gain will depend on coating R&D results at the end of Phase I)

Moving forward the new 3G detectors

  • The GW detection and the beginning of the multimessenger astronomy stimulated a world

wide acceleration toward 3G GW observatories

  • In Europe we are going toward the formation of a Einstein Telescope (ET) collaboration, a

competition between 2 sites, candidate to host the infrastructure, the submission of an ET project proposal to the ESFRI roadmap

  • In US the idea of a giant 40km detector, named Cosmic Explorer, is now

born and supported, as Conceptual Design Study, by NSF

  • We set up a global coordination committee (GWIC-3G) that is attempting

to harmonise the efforts and to find synergies

slide-42
SLIDE 42

Motivations for New Detectors

Ø Expand the exploration to the entire Universe Ø Black holes through cosmic history ü Formation, evolution and growth of black holes and their properties Ø Understanding extremes of physics ü Structure and dynamics of neutron stars ü Physics of extreme gravity Ø Probing the transient Universe ü Gamma ray bursts, gravitational collapse and Supernovae Ø Beyond GR looking for new Physics: gravstars, wormholes, new particles and fields

slide-43
SLIDE 43

Why a new infrastructure

  • Increase the arm length to gain in sensitivity
  • Implementation of new technological plants requiring more

space (cryogenics system)

  • Reduce the seismic impact of the sensitivity ( Underground

detector)

  • Permit longer data taking runs of the 2G detectors by relaxing

the needs to implement new technologies on 2G

  • Prepare the transition from obsolete to new infrastructures

The target should be to realize a 3G-infrastructure in the next decay choosing sites that must have specific features that can enhance the planned investments.

slide-44
SLIDE 44

The 3rd GENERATION: site basic requirements

. The Einstein Telescope will be located underground at a depth of about 100 m to 200 m and, in the complete configuration, will consist of three nested detectors each in turn composed of two interferometers

  • lower seismic motion, meteorologically generated seismic noise,

anthropogenic activity anthropogenic activity (local infrastructure, population density, etc.);

  • lower Newtonian noise originates from fluctuations in the surround

geologic and atmospheric density, causing a variation in the Newtonian gravitational field. The Einstein Telescope (ET) case

  • Vertexes placed in solid rock
  • Access to caverns through tunnels
