A proposal for ILIAS NEXT Cryogenics versus vibration
[A proposal for ILIAS NEXT: Cryogenics versus vibration] [I 3 -FP 7 call] Abstract The reduction of thermal noise in solids is a basic requirement in many kinds of detectors involving position or mechanical energy measurements. If cryogenics is used other favorable conditions are met as high quality factors or higher thermal conductivity such that the use of cryogenics appear a natural choice. The proposed activity is targeted to the leading feature of underground detectors. 1 – Target Vibration-free-cryostat (VFC [1, 2, 3, 4]) activity is being proposed to be pursued as JRA ILIAS in order to: • study the integration of VFC and cryogenic sensor development with running cryogenics R&D projects for gravitational wave detectors [5, 6, 7]; • study alternative configurations as vibration self-cancellation using double-pulsetube systems [8]; • adapt vibration-free cryo-cooler experience to other astro-particle physics detectors requiring low temperature and quiet environment [9]; • design and develop new sensors dedicated to pulse-tube vibration reduction.
