Abstract The GWINPE Group (The Gravitational Wave Group of the National Institute for Space Research) has been doing R&D related to a vibrational isolation system for the Advanced LIGO gravitational wave detector. It is a criogenic nested multipendular system, named Multi-Nested Pendula, which attenuates seismic noise while saves vertical space. GWINPE has been working on the performance at room temperature of this system for more than one year. However for the doctoral program we will study its performance at cryogenic temperatures, since this is the goal of the third and fourth generations of the Advanced LIGO. This research is linked to the Suspensions and Isolation Working Group (SWG) of the LSC (LIGO Scientific Collaboration). (AU) | |
