advanced Advanced Virgo BASELINE DESIGN Giovanni Losurdo INFN Firenze Advanced Virgo Coordinator for the Virgo Collaboration
ADVANCED VIRGO (AdV) Upgrade of Virgo+, minor modifications to the facilities and to the SA Sensitivity goal: about 10x better than Virgo Main foreseen changes: higher power (optical readout noise) heavier mirrors (optical readout noise) better coatings (thermal noise) signal recycling (shape the curve) beam waist position (thermal noise) ILIAS Annual Meeting Tubingen, Oct 9, 2007 G.Losurdo INFN Firenze 2

AdV BASELINE
LASER BASELINE: 200 W SOLID STATE LASER AMPLIFIER (LZH for Advanced LIGO) Nice Group is already collaborating with LZH for the Virgo+ amplifier. ALTERNATIVE OPTION: FIBER LASER AMPLIFIER (R&D Nice Limoges): promising research line stabilization to be done non linear effects and polarisation maintaining to be investigated at HP ILIAS Annual Meeting Tubingen, Oct 9, 2007 G.Losurdo INFN Firenze 7
INPUT OPTICS BASELINE: 144 m SUSPENDED RESONANT IMC: Virgo like solution. Problem of small angle diffused light to be addressed. EOM FARADAY: Advanced LIGO solution. ALTERNATIVE OPTION: AdvLIGO Faraday FIBER LASER IMC (R&D Nice Limoges): promising research line, would be a major simplification.

AdV sensitivity vs Fiber geometry The ribbon choice reduces considerably the contribution of suspensions thermal noise Dumbbell fibers can also improve the performance The benefits on the sensitivity are limited by radiation pressure, newtonian and CONTROL NOISE (unmodelled so far) fiber geometry Finesse cylindrical 885 ribbon G 23.5 P BS 2.9 kw BNS BBH 121 859 126 959 ILIAS Annual Meeting Tubingen, Oct 9, 2007 G.Losurdo INFN Firenze 17
HEAVIER MIRRORS? If ribbons are used, low frequency sensitivity can be further improved by using thicker mirrors (30 cm diam., 63 kg mass) The low frequency sensitivity is then limited by newtonian noise (model uncertain) and coating brownian noise fiber geometry BASELINE ribbon 63 Kg mirr Finesse 885 G 23.5 P BS 2.9 kw BNS BBH 121 859 130 1053 ILIAS Annual Meeting Tubingen, Oct 9, 2007 G.Losurdo INFN Firenze 18
TWO STEP STRATEGY? We are considering the idea of a two step strategy: Start AdV WITHOUT SR mirror and learn to operate the power recycled interferometer with high power Add the SR mirror afterwards A good intermediate sensitivity can be achieved, even better with heavier mirrors Power rec AdV BNS range: 97 Mpc BBH range: 265 Mpc 1 khz sens.: 2 10 23 ILIAS Annual Meeting Tubingen, Oct 9, 2007 G.Losurdo INFN Firenze 19
CONCLUSION A baseline design for AdV has been proposed Possible changes to the baseline will be considered (on the strength of the R&D progress) and discussed next year within a new AdV organization See next talk by A.Freise and P.Puppo for more details ILIAS Annual Meeting Tubingen, Oct 9, 2007 G.Losurdo INFN Firenze 20
INVITATION AdV is moving towards a new phase: the preparation of the TECHNICAL DESIGN There are many things to do and we are open to enlarge the Collaboration for Advanced Virgo ILIAS Annual Meeting Tubingen, Oct 9, 2007 G.Losurdo INFN Firenze 21
