  5. Introduction KAGRA (Cryogenic second generation) Sapphire mirror suspended by sapphire fibers Firstfeasibility study T. Uchiyama et al., Physics Letters A 242 (1998) 211. Sapphire fiber : High Q-values and large thermal conductivity 5 5 5 5 5

  6. 2. Design Strength Sapphire fibers should support the weight of sapphire mirror. Mirror : 23 kg Number of fibers : 4 Tensile strength : 400 MPa Safety margin : 7 Fiber diameter must be larger than 1.1 mm. 6 6 6 6 6

  7. 2. Design Thermal conductivity Fibers should transfer heat (about 1 W). Crystal (sapphire, silicon, diamond) and pure metal (Al, Cu, Ag) : Thermal conductivity is extremely high (> 1000 W/m/K). Q-values of pure metal is low. Crystals with high Q-values are candidates (sapphire, silicon). G. Ventura and L. Risegari, “The art of Cryogenics Low-Temperature Experimental Techniques”, Elsevier (2008) p76. 7 7 7 7 7

  8. 2. Design Thermal conductivity Sapphire : Thermal conductivity is maximum around 30 K. Temperature of KAGRA mirror will be around 20 K. Specification sapphire suspension Number of fibers : 4 Length of fibers : 0.3 m Heat generated in a mirror : 1 W Mirror temperature : 23 K Temperature at top end of fiber : 16 K Thermal conductivity : 5500 (T/20K)3 W/m/K Fiber diameter must be larger than 1.6 mm. This requirement is severer than that of strength. 8 8 8 8

  9. 3. Expected thermal noise Assumption and design Assumption : Upper ends of fibers are fixed rigidly. Resonant frequencies (except for violin modes) are different from the actual system. However, the thermal noise above the resonant frequency is the same. Design: Number of fiber : 4 Fiber length : 0.3 m Fiber diameter : 1.6 mm Q-values of sapphire fibers : 5*106 9 9 9 9

  10. 3. Expected thermal noise Degrees of freedom Horizontal motion along optical axis Pendulum and violin modes Vertical motion Gradient of interferometer baseline is 1/300. for discharge of water in the mine. Rotation (Pitch and Yaw) Distance between optical axis and center of gravity of mirror is 1 mm. 10 10 10 10

  11. 3. Expected thermal noise Degrees of freedom 11 11 11 11

  12. 3. Expected thermal noise Resonant frequencies and Q-values Resonant frequencies Q-values Pendulum 1 Hz? 1.5*106?? 1st violin 220 Hz 8 *106??? Vertical 109 Hz 5*106 Pitch 23.4 Hz 5*106 Yaw 1.4 Hz 2*107 In the cases of Pendulum (and violin) and Yaw, loss dilution factors by gravity were taken into account. 12 12 12 12

  13. 3. Expected thermal noise Horizontal and vertical motion 13 13 13 13

  14. 3. Expected thermal noise Horizontal and vertical motion Between 100 Hz and 200 Hz, there are 1st violin mode and vertical mode. Room temperature interferometer : 1st violin ~ 300 Hz vertical mode ~ 10 Hz Thick fiber to transfer heat ! Thicker fiber : Lager thermal noise (pendulum mode) Longer fiber : Lower violin mode, lower vertical mode -> Smaller heat transfer Shorter fiber : Higher violin mode, higher vertical mode -> Fiber should be longer than mirror radius. Note : These peaks make Signal to Noise Ratio of matched filter for neutrons star coalescence smaller (several per cent). 14 14 14 14

  15. 3. Expected thermal noise d Pitch and yaw rotation 15 15 15 15

  16. 3. Expected thermal noise Pitch and yaw rotation Yaw rotation does not matter. Around 20 Hz, there is pitch mode. Room temperature interferometer : pitch mode ~ 3 Hz Thick fiber to transfer heat ! Pitch mode frequency depends on distance between fibers (d). This distance must be as small as possible (10 mm~30 mm). Note : If this mode is lower than 30 Hz, the effect on Signal to Noise Ratio of matched filter for neutrons star coalescence is small. 16 16 16 16

  18. 4. Recent experiments Our old measurement : Thermal conductivity Size effect : Conductivity is proportional to fiber radius. Mean free path of phonon is limited by fiber radius. KAGRA fiber : 1.6 mm in diameter T. Tomaru et al., Physics Letters A 301 (2002) 215. 18 18 18 18
