Mechanical loss and its significance in the test mass mirrors of gravitational wave detectors
The work of this thesis involves the analysis of mechanical losses associated with coated test masses manufactured from fused silica, to determine the existence and level of excess loss associated with the coatings on these substrates. In particular, a major part of this analysis requires the calcul...
