Initial interferometric pre-investigations for LISA
نویسنده
چکیده
LISA, the Laser Interferometer Space Antenna, is a proposed ESA/NASA space based gravitational wave detector. In order to help meet the many technological challenges of LISA, the ESA precursor mission LISA Pathfinder (LPF) will test some of the key enabling technologies for LISA. LPF however will only go so far, and much work is needed to take LPF technology to a state suitable for LISA. One such area is the use of polarising Mach-Zehnder interferometers. We report on the design and initial construction of an experiment to test the use of such interferometric techniques, as well as suitable component mounting mechanisms.

The LISA Optimal Sensitivity
The multiple Doppler readouts available on the Laser Interferometer Space Antenna (LISA) permit simultaneous formation of several interferometric observables. All these observables are independent of laser frequency fluctuations and have different couplings to gravitational waves and to the various LISA instrumental noises. Within the functional space of interferometric combinations LISA will b...
متن کاملEffectiveness of Nasal Intermittent Positive Pressure Ventilation versus Nasal Continuous Positive Airway Pressure in Preterm Infants after Less Invasive Surfactant Administration
Background Non-invasive ventilation is increased used in preterm infants. We aimed to compare the effectiveness of nasal intermittent positive pressure ventilation (nIPPV) versus nasal continuous positive airway pressure (nCPAP) in preterm infants with respiratory distress syndrome (RDS) after less invasive surfactant administration (LISA). Materials and Methods In this clinical trial, eighty ...
متن کاملDetection Rate Estimates of Gravity-waves Emitted during Parabolic Encounters of Stellar Black Holes in Globular Clusters
The rapid advance of gravitational-wave (GW) detector facilities makes it very important to estimate the event rates of possible detection candidates. We consider an additional possibility of GW bursts produced during unbound orbits of stellar mass compact objects. We estimate the rate of successful detections for specific detectors: the initial Laser Interferometric Gravitational-Wave Observat...
متن کاملVolcanological Applications of Doppler Radars: A Review and Examples from a Transportable Pulse Radar in L-Band
Many types of radar systems have been applied to the study of a wide range of volcanic features. Fields of application commonly include volcano deformation by interferometric synthetic aperture radar (InSAR), mainly satellite-based (e.g. Froger et al., 2007) but also ground-based like LISA (Casagli et al., 2009), digital elevation model generation using satellite or airborne InSAR measurements,...
متن کاملOn searches for gravitational waves from mini-creation events by laser interferometric detectors
As an alternative view to the standard big bang cosmology, the quasi-steady-state cosmology argues that the Universe was not created in a single great explosion: it did not have a beginning, nor will it ever come to an end. The creation of new matter in the Universe is a regular feature occurring through finite explosive events. Each creation event is called a mini-bang, or a minicreation event...
