1 Overview of monolithic suspension work for Advanced LIGO Mariëlle van Veggel, Mark Barton, Tim Bodiya, Alan Cumming, Liam Cunningham, Giles Hammond, Gregg Harry, Karen Haughian, Alastair Heptonstall, Jim Hough, Russell Jones, David Kelley, Rahul Kumar, Rich Mittleman, Norna Robertson, Sheila Rowan, Brett Shapiro, Ken Strain, Kirill Tokmakov, Alexander Wanner Amaldi 8, Columbia State Universtity, New York, 21 st – 26 th June 2009 LIGO-G0900507-v2

2 25th June 2009 LIGO-G0900507-v22 Overview of the presentation Introduction to the Adv LIGO monolithic suspension Ear and fibre design and analysis Construction of the monolithic suspension Current status –full 40 kg test hang in Glasgow

3 25th June 2009 LIGO-G0900507-v23 Introduction (monolithic suspension) The input test masses (ITM) and end test masses (ETM) of Advanced LIGO will be suspended via a quadruple pendulum system

4 25th June 2009 LIGO-G0900507-v24 Introduction (monolithic suspension) Thermal noise reduction: monolithic fused silica suspension as final stage - low pendulum thermal noise and preservation of high mirror quality factor –silica fibre loss angle ~ 3·10 -7, –c.f. steel ~2·10 -4 Seismic isolation: use quadruple pendulum with 3 stages of maraging steel blades for enhanced vertical isolation 40kg silica test mass parallel reaction chain for control four stages

5 25th June 2009 LIGO-G0900507-v25 Introduction (monolithic suspension) Steel wires Penultimate mass Ear Steel wire break-off prism Silica fibres End/input test mass Ear

6 25th June 2009 LIGO-G0900507-v26 Currently - Design of test ears 1. Bond area Thermal noise of the bond (see poster 69 Liam Cunningham) Location of the ears to meet required suspension dynamics 5. Manufacturability Overall machining Surface finish (flame polishing) 2. Stresses Maximum principal stresses Peeling Stress concentrations Bending 3. Weldability Access to weld area Holding the fibre Ease of repair (see also poster 113) 4. Fibre and weld horn Flexure point Strain energy distribution Thermo-elastic loss (see poster 113 Alan Cumming) Ear and fibre design and analysis

7 25th June 2009 LIGO-G0900507-v27 Production of the monolithic suspension 3 main stages Preparing masses by hydroxide catalysis bonding of the ears to: –the test mass and –the penultimate mass Manufacturing of the fibres –fabricate by laser pulling –characterisation Installation of fibres using laser welding

8 25th June 2009 LIGO-G0900507-v28 Production of the monolithic suspension Manufacturing and characterising the fibres Pull fibres with a laser pulling machine –Dumbbell shape for thermo-elastic noise optimisation and frequency 15mm Ø 3 mm Ø 0.8 mm Ø 0.4 mm

9 25th June 2009 LIGO-G0900507-v29 Manufacturing and proof testing fibres

10 25th June 2009 LIGO-G0900507-v210 Production of the monolithic suspension Manufacturing and characterising the fibres Pull fibres with a laser pulling machine –Dumbbell shape for thermo-elastic noise optimisation and frequency Proof test fibres –Load fibres with 12.5 kg Measure the fibre profile Bounce test fibres –To determine the bounce frequency and therefore the stiffness of the fibres 15mm Ø 3 mm Ø 0.8 mm Ø 0.4 mm
