Dissipation mechanisms in pendulums and their implications for gravitational wave interferometers

Dissipation mechanisms in pendulums and their implications for gravitational wave interferometers

We present a precise test of the dissipation dilution effect in the transverse wire mode quality factors in pendulums. Several excess loss mechanisms are diagnosed in detail, with special attention paid to dissipation from sliding friction.
