Superattenuator performance• Excitation at top• Use Virgo sensitivity
and stability• Integrate for several
hours• Upper limit for TF at
32 Hz:1,7 10-12
• In some configurations a signal was found, but also along a direction perpendicular to excitation: compatible with magnetic cross talk

Control and DAQ Electronics package• A huge electronics renewal is expected during the V+ shutdown
– Obsolescence– Reduction of the noise
• New DAQ electronics has been developed by LAPP and the deployment of it is partially already started
• It affects the – Suspension control– Injection System control– Interferometer control
• Global control

The European Gravitational ObservatoryPURPOSE• The Consortium shall have as its purpose the promotion of research
in the field of gravitation in Europe. • In this connection and in particular, the Consortium pursues the
following objectives:– ensures the end of the construction of the antenna VIRGO, its
operation, maintenance and the upgrade of the antenna as well as its exploitation;
– ensures the maintenance of the related infrastructures, including a computer centre and promotes an open co-operation in R&D;
– ensures the maintenance of the site;– carries out any other research in the field of gravitation of common
interest of the Members;– promotes the co-operation in the field of the experimental and
theoretical gravitational waves research in Europe;– promotes contacts among scientists and engineers, the dissemination of
information and the provision of advanced training for young researchers.

EGO• 5 year renewal approved this year• Current members: CNRS, INFN participating equally to
budget (ca 10 M€ / year)• Management:
– EGO Council and its President– EGO Director– Board of auditors– Currently 48 staff, EGO Scientific Director, Adminstrative Head
• Scientific and Technical Advisory Committee– Experts of the field or of related questions
• VESF:Virgo-EGO Scientific Forum– Implementation of one of the EGO purposes– Gathers people interested in gravitational waves and their
detection

Noise understanding
• Noise sources and coupling are well understood
• Low frequency shows more structures
• Noise reduction in advanced detectors achieved with proper design
• Virgo+ in 2010: fused silica suspensions and higher Finesse– risk reduction for
Advanced detectors

Virgo sensitivity progress
VSR1: May 18-Sep 30 2007 4 month continuous data taking simultaneously with LIGO Analysis in progress

Stability• Robust interferometer
– 95% Science Mode duty cycle (if no commissioning is made)
– Good sensitivity• Stable horizon:
8-8.5 Mpc (1.4-1.4 Ns-Ns) - averaged
(now 8-9.5 Mpc)
42-44 Mpc (10-10 BH-BH) - averaged – fluctuating with input mirror etalon
effect• Low glitch rate: factor 10 lower than
VSR1: < 0.1 Hz SNR >10• Taking data since July 7th with 80% duty
cycle in science mode and locks lasting days
• Preparing for installation of monolithic suspensions

Environmental noises studiesInvestigations to understand the sources and the path to dark fringe
Coupling (paths) to dark fringe
- diffused light from in air optical benches
- diffused light related to Brewster window
- beam jitter on injection bench
Sources of environmental noise:
- air conditioning
- electronic racks

LV Agreement (I)• “All data analysis activities will be open to all members of
the LSC and Virgo Collaborations, in a spirit of cooperation, open access, full disclosure and full transparency with the goal of best exploiting the full scientific potential of the data.”
• Joint committees set up to coordinate data analysis, review results, run planning, and computing. The makeup of these committees decided by mutual agreement between the projects.
• Joint publication of observational data whether data from Virgo, or LIGO (GEO) or both

External collaborations• Purpose: best possible scientific output from GW observation
– Sharing of LSC and Virgo GW strain data– proprietary information from non-L-V scientists– specialized expertise for a joint project under the aegis of a LSC-Virgo working group.– may lead to a publication with the full LSC+Virgo author list plus the "external" scientist(s)
involved• Part of the approved scientific program of the Collaborations• Transparent and open evaluation process. • Specific, well-defined project (scope, goal, duration, people), in written and in place
befory proprietary data are exchanged• No exclusive agreements.
• Current list (only signed MoUs listed by name)– SWIFT ToO 5, request for pointing– High energy neutrinos: Antarès-IceCube– Wide-Field Optical Follow-Ups: Pi-of-the-Sky, TAROT, QUEST, ROTSE, Skymapper…– EM Followup with satellites: Fermi-LAT, Fermi-GBM, RXTE, SWIFT– Radiotelescopes– Numerical relativity: numerical injection analysis– SuperNova Early Warning System
• Prepare for Open Data policy
