AbstractAbstract
[en] 'Mario Schenberg' is a spherical resonant-mass gravitational wave (GW) detector that will be part of a GW detection array of two detectors, the other one is been built in The Netherlands. Their resonant frequencies will be around 3.2 kHz with a bandwidth of about 200 Hz. This range of frequencies is new in a field where the typical frequencies lay below 1 kHz, making the transducer development much more complex. Some studies indicated that using low mass mechanical resonators (used for impedance matching to the parametric transducer, in a cold damping regime), allow the detector to reach the standard quantum limit. In this work we describe the study of mechanical impedance matcher resonators used to obtain a better coupling between the sphere and the transducers and keeping the same calibration for all transducers, this has been show to be not a easy task since the differential motions of the sphere surface propagates to the motions of the resonant mechanical impedance matchers, when it can be done then the next step is to calculate the effective mass of the resonating mechanical impedance matcher and then, calculate the detector sensitivity, this is also complicated because there is a spread in the resonant mechanical impedance matcher frequencies.
