STREGA
C1:Cryogenic Last Stage Suspension
(10 MIN)
This part of the suspension system close to the optics has been called final stage and deserves special care since
it is relevant for the overall thermal noise performance. In cryogenic detectors the final stage ought to provide a
good thermal conduction and at the same time it has to satisfy the thermal noise requirements.
Objectives:
- Design of new suspension elements (such as cantilever blades or flexural joints) to be located on the final stage.
- Achieve a low noise remote control of the mirror position, using sensors and actuators compatible with the
cryogenic environment.
- Assembling and test of a full prototype of cryogenic final stage.
