Feb 3, 2009Thermal aspects of Advanced Virgo cryostat design, Eric Hennes, UvA12 Final remarks & conclusion All radii of curvature are larger than 100 km and exceed by far those predicted for beam power absorption (see van Putten et al.) Conclusion: no mirror optics problems expected for any proposed design Lowest cryostat power is obtained using (only) 2 baffles on either side Including the recoil mass into the models will result into a smaller radial temperature gradient, and consequently, into even larger radii of curvature
