Abstract
We have experimentally tested models currently in use to estimate the mechanical losses and thermal noise of the test mass suspensions of laser interferometer gravitational-wave detectors. Observed losses are approximately independent of frequency from 1 Hz to 2 kHz, resulting in lower thermal noise estimates than with some previous models.
