Abstract

The sensitivity curve of a gravitational wave interferometric detector like VIRGO might be seriously limited by the mechanical shot noise induced by stationary creep in the heavily loaded mechanical suspension components (wires, spring blades, etc.). We quantify this effect and discuss possible improvements which could be implemented without major design alterations. (C) 1997 Elsevier Science B.V.
