The Use of Cryogenic Techniques to Achieve High Sensitivity in Gravitational Wave Detectors

Cryogenic detectors for gravitational wave astronomy promise greatly improved sensitivity over room temperature detectors. The 3 mK detector which we have under construction should give an improvement of 10 6 over existing detectors. The cryogenic antennae are described and the calculated low temper...

Zusammenfassung:Cryogenic detectors for gravitational wave astronomy promise greatly improved sensitivity over room temperature detectors. The 3 mK detector which we have under construction should give an improvement of 10 6 over existing detectors. The cryogenic antennae are described and the calculated low temperature performance is detailed. New superconducting instrumentation is described.
