Magnetic Noise Mitigation Strategies for the Einstein Telescope Infrastructure

The Einstein Telescope (ET) will be a third-generation Gravitational Wave (GW) detector that will tackle cutting-edge technological challenges. The ET will be constructed at a depth of 200–300 m to isolate it from vibrations caused by seismic waves and human activities, which are sources of noise fo...

description The Einstein Telescope (ET) will be a third-generation Gravitational Wave (GW) detector that will tackle cutting-edge technological challenges. The ET will be constructed at a depth of 200–300 m to isolate it from vibrations caused by seismic waves and human activities, which are sources of noise for GW detection. To meet the ET’s objectives, it will be necessary to improve low-frequency sensitivity by about two orders of magnitude compared to current interferometers (LIGO, Virgo). Magnetic noise is a limiting noise in the frequency range from a few Hz up to around 100 Hz in future GW detectors. This article will discuss the magnetic noise mitigation strategies under development, based on experiences from Virgo.
