Abstract:
The Advanced LIGO interferometers operate very close to their noise floor. This means that, in contrast to off-the-shelf instruments, any variation in the noise will not only be easily detectable but also may have a negative impact on LIGO's ability to detect gravitational waves. In this seminar, I will discuss a number of examples of noise sources that have been detected over the years, how their cause was identified , and how (or if) the problem was eliminated. These examples will not be chosen necessarily for their importance but rather to illustrate a variety of noise sources and analysis approaches.
