Cryostat 100 K 20 K IVC Liquid helium Dewar: 100 liters

A new 100 liters LHe4 dewar is installed For the next Auriga run the detector temperature will be 1.5 K

  • Stable cryogenic temperature
  • Time to solve 1K-pot problem

In the next run this dewar will hold the cold part of the dilution refrigerator

Near future improvements

Auriga Ultracryogenic

Preliminary results

  • At 0.2 K the SQUID

noise is 35 ħ (P.Falferi this conf.) Still Open Questions:

  • Is the LC resonator

thermal at 0.1 K?

  • Are we able to reduce

the disturbances of the 1K pot vibrations?

Conclusions

  • 1. The resonant detector of gravitational wave

AURIGA is about to start its second run

  • 2. Compared to the previous run the sensitivity and

the bandwidth should be increased of at least one

  • rder of magnitude
  • 3. The up-graded detector has been designed to

maximize the observation duty cycle and to reduce as much as possible the non gaussian noise which strongly affected the G.W. detectors sensitivity
