VSR3 (11 Aug 20 Oct 2010) High Finesse FP cavities; Monolithic suspensions; FromVIRGO to VIRGO+ Decreased performances due to large ROC asymmetry of the end mirrors. VSR4 (3 Jun 3 Sep 2011) Better performances thanks to the improvement of the thermal compensation system. CSN2 - Frascati, 16-18 Aprile 2012 3
Monolithic suspensions were installed and arm mirrors changed to increase finesse (50 150) and to reduce the thermal noise by replacing the herasil End Mirrors with suprasil ones. Mirror Thermal Compensation has been greatly improved CSN2 - Frascati, 16-18 Aprile 2012 4
Low cost Short commissioning time Extremely robust With the CHRoCC ITF is robust and stable The interferometer is now tunable and can be a useful chracteristic for ADV-Virgo - The reached sensitivity will allow to set new limit at least on Vela GW emission CSN2 - Frascati, 16-18 Aprile 2012 5

The baffles are made of stainless steel with sharp teeth. They are constructed by laser machining and carefully inspected before installation. Noise projections compliant with AdV sensitivity CSN2 - Frascati, 16-18 Aprile 2012 21
Thermal Compensation Main achievements: CO2 projector Double Axicon System (DAS) and scanning system access to vacuum through the same viewport. Optical layout of the CO2 bench completed. CO2 laser vendor/model selected: LASY-45 from Access Laser Company with LineTracker option for RF cavity length active control through piezo actuator (improves DC power stability). Procurement of the components for the bench top test of the scanning system is completed. Assembly started in March.
Thermal Compensation Hartmann wave-front sensing Procurement of the hardware completed. CCD camera: DALSA Pantera 1M60, 1024 by 1024 pixels, active area of 1.2 cm by 1.2 cm, maximum frame rate of 60 fps. Camera-Link digital data protocol. Hartmann plate at EGO for measurement of scattered light @ 1064 nm Phase camera sensing for TCS Simulations for the absolute reconstruction of common and differential aberrations through the information on phase and amplitude of the sidebands and carrier. Use both the 131 MHz and 6 MHz modulation frequency sidebands for coarse and fine TCS tuning. Non symmetric compensation Scanning system based on galvo mirrors for drawing the correction on the mirrors. Noise projection computation for the DAS and the scanning system completed.
The TCS and pick-off plates PR Mirror is suspended using C70 steel wires) At 4 cm in front of it, tilted by 6 o with respect to the beam axis, we set a Pick Off Plate for the control of the central cavity. A similar assembly is foreseen for the thermal compensation plates. CSN2 - Frascati, 16-18 Aprile 2012 24

Infrastructure To reduce the influence of environmental noise some noisy machines will be moved out of the experimental halls. Modifications in the central hall to host the minitowers and upgrade the laser and detection labs. The detection lab will be enlarged and become a clean room.

The choices of the AdV design were made on the basis of the outcome of the different R&D investigations carried out within the gravitational waves (GW) community and the experience gained with Virgo, but also taking into account the budget and schedule constraints. The detailed project schedule is object of a project implementation plan that covers all the necessary tasks until the end of the project. Beside the sensitivity, one of the main goals of the project is to have the detector robustly locked in 2015. The phase of installation of AdV parts and decommissioning of the Virgo equipment has started in November 2011 The start of the infrastructure works is scheduled in September 2012.
