Overview
• previous talk: astro-physics with the Einstein Telescope
• aim: overview of experimental part of the design study and R&D for the Einstein Telescope
• content:
– sensitivity curve and implications for the setup– optical layout– thermal noise of optical components– suspensions– site selection and infrastructure

Sensitivity aims
• initial aim: sensitivity enhancement of about an order of magnitude in all of the frequency range form 1 Hz to 10 kHz

Sensitivity aims
• To achive that goal all currently available techniques needs to be pushed to the limits and even beyond large field of upcoming R&D
• all temperatures below 20 K are suited from the point of thermal noise
• design choice: 10 K operational temperature at the mirror to allow safety in (so far) unknown/badly known material parameters
• cryogenic test mass• Si(111)• temperature 10 K• diameter: 45…50cm• thickness: 45…60cm• mass: 211kg

Suspensions - Overview
• requirements:– suspend 211 kg of test mass– low thermal noise contribution– seismic isolation– keep the temperature constant at the test masses (10 K)– reduced gravity gradient noise (underground + GGN reduction)
• split into upper and lower suspension

additionally: going underground for Newtonian noise reduction

Suspensions – Upper suspension
Moriond Meeting 2011
• Superattenuator will be adopted to the ET requirements for the upper stage
• total height: 17 meters• 6 stages (equal dist. spacing)

Site selection and infrastructure
• scientific issues for the site selection
– low seismic activities („proper“ underground)– far away from disturbance sources (e.g. cities, shores, etc.)– possibility for infrastructure (electricity, roads, building, …)
• intensive study of seismic at different locations within the ET conceptual design study
• systematic study and modelling of seismic in different places– seismic noise– FEA based models

Site selection and infrastructure
• large focus of the ET design study on infrastructure
• building the infrastructure will be the largest financial part of the observatory
• aim: to build a long term infrastructure containing upgradable instruments
