SUMMARY:SPECIAL - Brittany Kamai (CalTech) - Looking further back with LIGO
DESCRIPTION:Gravitational wave detectors require constant innovation in detector technology to meet the growing needs of the astrophysics community. With improved sensitivity\, we can move beyond the measurements in the local universe and perform precision tests of cosmology. I will discuss our efforts to reduce the amount of low frequency noise within the LIGO detectors\, which has a direct impact on our ability to measure heavier mass black hole mergers further out into the universe. I will focus on a proposed major upgrade to the LIGO detectors that will use silicon optics cooled to cryogenic temperatures. Additionally\, I will discuss ideas for a passive seismic isolation system that uses advances in seismic cloaking technology. These improvements will extend distance measurements on gravitational wave mergers from the local universe out to much higher redshifts.
