STACIS seismic isolation at LIGO's 40 meter prototype Laboratory


  • TMC STACIS 2000 web site and Technical Background (pdf)

  • Between 11/27-12/6/00, Stave Vass and Larry Jones mounted the STACIS seismic isolation systems on the four 40m test mass chambers.

  • Preliminary results, in Postscript and pdf.
  • We are limited by our ability to measure motion below a few Hz and above some 10's of Hz, by our geophones. More about geophones: GEOPHONE FAQ, Geophone research at Stanford, Geophones from i-o.com.
