Description
This is an update for the community on the design status of the mirror suspension for A#. The team is making excellent progress on the design. I will report on the latest design update from the 4th suspension workshop at Caltech (Dec 9-11, 2025) and describe how the suspension has evolved from the system in Advanced LIGO. In the spirit of the workshop, I will highlight a few areas where the design is still in flux.
