Description

The third generation gravitational wave detectors like Einstein Telescope and LIGO Voyager, will adopt cryogenics mirrors and suspension systems as KAGRA interferometer, to reduce thermal noise and improve the sensitivity. The suspension systems or part of them will operate at low or cryogenic temperatures. The problems and challenges of operating the suspension systems and the interferometers at low temperatures and with low contamination will be discussed, presenting possible technical solutions.
