Increasing the sensitivity of resonant mass gravitational wave detectors

Creators

  • 1. Stanford Univ., Calif. (USA)

Description

Numerous imporved detectors are now being developed or are actually under construction. In these notes I intend to discuss in detail some important factors which determine the sensitivity of large resonant-mass detectors and describe how the various problems are at present being attacked using low temperature techniques. Finally I shall outline the programme at Stanford. (orig.)

Abstract (German)

Zur Zeit werden zahlreiche verbesserte Detektoren entwickelt oder gerade gebaut. In dieser Abhandlung werden einige wichtige Faktoren, welche die Empfindlichkeit von Detektoren grosser Masse bestimmen, im Detail diskutiert und beschrieben, wie die verschiedenen Probleme gegenwaertig mit Hilfe der Tieftemperaturtechnik angegangen werden. Zum Schluss wird das Programm in Stanford dargelegt. (orig.)
