Status of Interferometers and Data Analysis David Shoemaker LIGO - MIT 9 July 2001

Overview Fundamental and practical design drivers Principal elements of realistic systems For each of several signal classes: Character of signals for ground-based systems Data analysis challenges Status, Plans of endeavors around the world

Basic sensing principle Quadrupolar strain, differential response Transduction into light intensity changes Antenna pattern: the ‘peanut’ …how to make this a useful instrument?

Basic design rules, consequences 4 km Laser 300 W 10 W 20 kW Input Optics Vacuum Basic design rules, consequences Goal: minimize other forces on masses Seismic noise: Active and Passive isolation Thermal noise: Choice of materials, assembly Internally generated noise: keep strains low Goal: maximize light phase modulation due to GW 0.3-4 km Interferometer arm length Optical ‘folding’ of light path: Delay Line or Fabry-Perot Tailoring of frequency response: RSE (Resonant Sideband Extraction) Goal: minimize other sources of phase modulation Ultra High Vacuum path for light Laser pointing, intensity and frequency stabilization via transmissive Mode Cleaners Quantum limited sensing: High-power Nd:YAG lasers (photon pressure; thermal focussing) Goal: maximize observation time and value Reliable operation of individual detectors Many detectors, closely coordinated, shared data

Impulsive sources Sources and signatures Some predictions for simple objects (BH ringdown) Supernovae – great zoo of possible signatures Unpredicted signals, but allowed by physics Challenge: many instrumental sources of ‘bursts’ Requires excellent characterization of instrument Similar ‘data analysis’ to be performed on many diagnostic channels Data analysis (or detector characterization) process: resolve the channel into sub-bands identify statistics on the sub-bands identify epochs when the detector output is uncharacteristic of its behavior in the mean

Impulsive sources Search with variety of filters Power fluctuations larger than measured statistics Time-frequency techniques Wavelet or other general approaches Must have second astrophysical sensor for coincidence - Other interferometers, or acoustic detectors Neutrino detectors GRB and optical telescopes Computation: GW and auxiliary channels may present comparable demands Example of detector well suited: TAMA

TAMA300 FP Michelson, 300m arm length Best interferometer sensitivity to date: ~5x10-21 h/rHz, ~700 Hz Continuous lock >24hours Sensitivity for supernova: 0.01Msolar, SNR 10, galactic center In conjunction with e.g., Kamiokande neutrino detection

TAMA LCGT Large-scale Cryogenic Gravitational wave Telescope Planned cryogenic detector Next to Kamiokanda 3km arm length 20 K sapphire mirrors Goal: 3x10-24 h/rHz at 70 Hz Strong R&D program underway

Inspiraling Binaries Our best understood source Chirp signature: Sweep upward in frequency Low frequency instrument response  longer observation time, better SNR and more information extracted Can calculate up to, and after – making progress on coalescence

Inspiraling Binaries Computational challenge – many templates required Number of templates: (1/M)5/3 * (1/fbest)8/3 Hierarchical search methods, ‘mother templates’ to help ‘Slow’ Parallelization works well – Beowulf CPU configuration Practice in studies of Caltech 40m, TAMA interferometer data Example of detector well suited: Virgo

Virgo Italian and French collaboration 3km arm detector near Pisa Power-recycled Fabry-Perot Michelson Both tunnels complete North beam tube installed and aligned over more than 2.5 km The first 300m section pressure is below 6x10-10 mbar Construction to be complete mid-2002

Virgo Excellent seismic isolation Allows long observation of binaries – better SNR, more precision in parameters Mirror suspensions may be steel or (again to improve low frequency response) fused quartz

Virgo - Status Central interferometer operating, under study Laser, mode cleaner, beamsplitter, near mirrors Superattenuators, including inertial damping, operating continuously; Transfer functions have been measured Final optics near delivery; Lyon coating facility operational Filters for the pulse detection and coalescing binaries are being tested. New filters include complete black hole coalescence (Damour-Buonanno model). A 50-100 Gflop analysis system will be implemented in 2001 Full interferometer commissioning in 2002

Coherent sources Pulsars Low-mass X-ray binaries Possibly supernova remnants, r-mode oscillations Possibility of synchronous detection with other kinds of instruments Sco X-1

Coherent Sources All-sky challenge: Must correct for Doppler shifts for each pixel in sky Computationally limited Start with short (1-day) transforms, then either knit together into longer coherent transforms, or add incoherently Instrumental line sources must be well characterized… Known pulsar search easier – position, Doppler shift calculable Interesting to focus instrument sensitivity at fixed frequency; simplifies analysis problem, increases absolute sensitivity Example of detector well suited: GEO

GEO-600 UK-German collaboration 600 m arm detector near Hannover Infrastructure, vacuum complete Signal-recycled configuration, delay-line arms Flexibility in frequency response Sensitivity can be targeted Some agility in frequency

GEO-600 Fused-silica suspension fibers Multiple pendulums for isolation, control; monolithic construction Suspensions installed and operating at GEO-600 This, and RSE, as model for most next-generation detectors Prototype tests of interferometer configuration, control complete Characterization of laser, mode cleaners underway Final optic installation in coming months Commissioning of complete interferometer this year

Stochastic sources Standard Big Bang (analogy to infrared background) probably not detectable Possible sources in superstring models of BigBang, other string predictions Confusion limit of many sources Definitely uncertain! But definitely to be searched for. Requires minimum of two detectors – Two interferometers, or Interferometer and acoustic detector Cross-correlated detector noise must be understood Overlap function: both instruments must see same wave ‘in phase’ Example: the two LIGO instruments

LIGO US/LIGO Scientific Collaboration Two 4km arm observatories 2km and 4km interferometers at Hanford, 4km interferometer at Livingston 4 km + 2 km MIT HANFORD 3000km 10 ms Power-recycled Fabry-Perot Installation of both sites complete Commissioning underway CALTECH LIVINGSTON 4 km

LIGO Laser, mode cleaner working near design sensitivity Complete recycled 2km system locks (when no earthquakes…) Strain sensitivity to be ~3x10-23 1/Hz1/2 Data analysis algorithms in test Detector characterization, diagnostics underway Coincidence runs planned for Fall 2001 Science running starting early 2002

LIGO Advanced LIGO R&D for the next generation of instruments housed at the LIGO Observatories well underway LIGO Scientific Collaboration playing major role Quantum-limited at >100W input power RSE tunable response Sapphire test masses, fused silica suspensions Active seismic isolation systems Baseline: start updating interferometers in 2006 10 Hz Initial Advanced Wider band X15 in h ~3000 in rate

Networks of GW detectors A single interferometer requires some independent confirmation to claim a detection – e.g., GRBs, neutrinos, etc. A pair of interferometers can make a believable detection, and measure one polarization; position can be fixed to an annulus Three interferometers can add information about the polarization, and place the source in the sky Further interferometers improve further the quality and quantity of information, confidence in observations, probability of a complete network given uptime, flexibility for operating conditions – all required for an astronomy of gravitational radiation. Detector-to-be well suited to contribute to this endeavor: AIGO.

AIGO AIGO – concept from ACIGA for an Australian interferometer A detector in Australia is ‘aligned’ with US, European detectors – good overlap (and still good for those elsewhere) The Gingin High Power Research Facility: high power optical test facility to diagnose cavity performance at MW circulating powers A starting point for scaling up Considerable range and depth of expertise in Australia for GW detection

Isolation, thermal noise research ACIGA R&D High power laser development Isolation, thermal noise research Configurations and readout systems

The future with a little optimism Two years from now: LIGO, Virgo, GEO, TAMA in networked operation AIGO planning underway …first detections? Ten years from now: Next generation instruments in full operation, Advanced LIGO Second generation Virgo LCGT AIGO EURO How many discoveries per day? What new astrophysics revealed? …LISA on the launch pad!
