Abstract:

Prototype passive seismic isolation stacks designed for gravitational wave detection were installed in the 40 m LIGO interferometer, and the isolation was measured using the interferometer as a sensor. In agreement with models, the measurements indicate that the interferometer sensitivity is limited by seismic noise below approximately 60 Hz, and by other sources of noise at higher frequencies.
