We have developed a torsion pendulum facility for LISA gravitational reference sensor ground testing that allows us to put significant upper limits on residual stray forces exerted by LISA-like position sensors on a representative test mass and to characterize specific sources of disturbances for LISA. We present here the details of the facility, the experimental procedures used to maximize its...
متن کاملUpper displacement limits for spatially broadband patterns containing bandpass noise
How is the spatial-frequency content of a moving broadband pattern analysed by the visual system? Observers were asked to discriminate the direction of motion in random-noise patterns containing equal energy in each two-dimensional octave band. Uncorrelated noise could be introduced into either low- or high-frequency bands in order to force the visual system to rely on the outputs of putative m...
متن کاملCharge-Induced Force Noise on Free-Falling Test Masses: Results from LISA Pathfinder.
We report on electrostatic measurements made on board the European Space Agency mission LISA Pathfinder. Detailed measurements of the charge-induced electrostatic forces exerted on free-falling test masses (TMs) inside the capacitive gravitational reference sensor are the first made in a relevant environment for a space-based gravitational wave detector. Employing a combination of charge contro...
متن کاملCapacitance Position Sensor for LISA Noise Measurement
This paper discusses two techniques investigated for use in a capacitance-based position sensor for the Eöt-Wash LISA noise measurement. The advantages and disadvantages of both techniques are reviewed and some elementary mathematical analysis is presented. A prototype implementation based on the more successful of the two techniques has been constructed.
