In Virgo, thermal noise limits sensitivity particularly in the tens-to-hundreds of Hz band. To push that limit lower... read more

In the Virgo interferometer, quantum noise arises from fundamental light fluctuations that appear as shot noise at high frequencies and radiation-pressure noise at low frequencies. To suppress both,... read more
