Abstract: We present the design, manufacturing and performance of the horn-switch system developed for the technological demonstrator of QUBIC (the $Q$\&$U$ Bolometric Interferometer for Cosmology). This system is constituted of 64 back-to-back dual-band (150\,GHz and 220\,GHz) corrugated feed-horns interspersed with mechanical switches used to select desired baselines during the instrument self-calibration. We manufactured the horns in aluminum platelets milled by photo-chemical etching and mechanically tightened with screws. The switches are based on steel blades that open and close the wave-guide between the back-to-back horns and are operated by miniaturized electromagnets. We also show the current development status of the feedhorn-switch system for the QUBIC full instrument, based on an array of 400 horn-switch assemblies., 30 pages, 28 figures.

Abstract: We present the design, manufacturing and performance of the horn-switch system developed for the technological demonstrator of QUBIC (the Q&U Bolometric Interferometer for Cosmology). This system consists of 64 back-to-back dual-band (150 GHz and 220 GHz) corrugated feed-horns interposed with mechanical switches used to select desired baselines during the instrument self-calibration. We manufactured the horns in aluminum platelets milled by photo-chemical etching and mechanically tightened with screws. The switches are based on steel blades that open and close the waveguide between the back-to-back horns and are operated by miniaturized electromagnets. The measured electromagnetic performance of the feedhorns agrees with simulations. In particular we obtained a return loss around -20 dB up to 230 GHz and beam patterns in agreement with single-mode simulations down to -30 dB. The switches for this prototype were designed and built for the 150 GHz band. In this frequency range we find return and insertion losses consistent with expectations (< -25 dB and ∼-0.1 dB, respectively) and an isolation larger than 70 dB. In this paper we also show the current development status of the feedhorn-switch system for the QUBIC full instrument, based on an array of 400 horn-switch assemblies.

Abstract: International audience; The Q & U Bolometric Interferometer for Cosmology (QUBIC) is a cosmology experiment that aims to measure the B-mode polarization of the cosmic microwave background (CMB). Measurements of the primordial B-mode pattern of the CMB polarization are in fact among the most exciting goals in cosmology as it would allow testing of the inflationary paradigm. Many experiments are attempting to measure the B-modes, from the ground and the stratosphere, using imaging Stokes polarimeters. The QUBIC collaboration developed an innovative concept to measure CMB polarization using bolometric interferometry. This approach mixes the high sensitivity of bolometric detectors with the accurate control of systematics due to the interferometric layout of the instrument. We present the calibration results for the Technological Demonstrator, before its commissioning in the Argentinian observing site and preparation for first light.

Abstract: Measurements of cosmic microwave background (CMB) polarization may reveal the presence of a background of gravitational waves produced during cosmic inflation, providing thus a test of inflationary models. The Q&U Bolometric Interferometer for Cosmology (QUBIC) is an experiment designed to measure the CMB polarization. It is based on the novel concept of bolometric interferometry, which combines the sensitivity of bolometric detectors with the properties of beam synthesis and control of calibration offered by interferometers. To modulate and extract the input polarized signal of the CMB, QUBIC exploits Stokes polarimetry based on a rotating half-wave plate (HWP). In this work, we illustrate the design of the QUBIC instrument, focusing on the polarization modulation system, and we present preliminary results of beam calibrations and the performance of the HWP rotator at 300 K.

Abstract: We report the tilt sensitivity reached by the ARCHIMEDES tiltmeter in the 2–20 Hz frequency region, where seismic noise is expected to give an important limitation to the sensitivity in the next future Gravitational Waves detection, particularly through Newtonian noise. The tilt noise level $$\tilde{\theta }(f)$$ θ ~ ( f ) is about $$10^{-12} \mathrm{rad}/\sqrt{\mathrm{Hz}}$$ 10 - 12 rad / Hz in most of the band, reaching the minimum of $$\tilde{\theta } = 7\cdot 10^{-13} \mathrm{rad}/\sqrt{\mathrm{Hz}}$$ θ ~ = 7 · 10 - 13 rad / Hz around 9 Hz. The tiltmeter is a beam balance with a 0.5 m suspended arm and interferometric optical readout, working in closed loop. The results have been obtained by a direct measurement of the ground tilt at the Sos Enattos site (Sardinia, Italy). This sensitivity is a requirement to use the tiltmeter as part of an effective Newtonian noise reduction system for present Gravitational Waves detectors, and also confirms that Sos Enattos is among the quietest sites in the world, suitable to host the third-generation Gravitational Waves detector Einstein Telescope.

Abstract: In this work we report the ongoing characterization of the Sos Enattos former mine (Sardinia, Italy), one of the two candidate sites for the Einstein Telescope (ET), the European third-generation underground interferometric detector of Gravitational Waves. The Sos Enattos site lies on a crystalline basement, made of rocks with good geomechanical properties, characterized by negligible groundwater. In addition, the site has a very low seismic background noise due to the absence of active tectonics involving Sardinia. Finally, the area has a low population density, resulting in a reduced anthropic noise even at the ground level. This location was already studied in 2012-2014 as a promising site for an underground detector. More recently, in March 2019, we deployed a new network of surface and underground seismometers at the site, that is currently monitoring the local seismic noise. Most of the energy carried by the seismic waves is due to the microseisms below 1 Hz, showing a significant correlation with the waves of the west Mediterranean sea. Above 1 Hz the seismic noise in the underground levels of the mine approaches the Peterson’s low noise model. Exploiting mine blasting works into the former mine, we were also able to perform active seismic measurements to evaluate the seismic waves propagation across the area. In conclusion we also give a first assessment about the acoustic and magnetic noise in this underground site.

Abstract: International audience; We present the status of the art of the Archimedes experiment, devoted to measuring the debated interaction of quantum vacuum fluctuations and gravity. The method is essentially the weighing of the transition energy of a layered superconductor where the contribution of vacuum energy to the transition energy is expected to be relevant. The transition is obtained by modulating the temperature of the superconducting sample at a frequency of about 10 mHz and the expected change of weight is measured with a suitably designed high sensitivity cryogenic beam balance. In this paper, we present an overview of the experiment, discussing the expected signal to be measured, and presenting in particular the result of a prototype balance operated in our present laboratory. In the frequency range of the measurement, the sensitivity is affected mainly by seismic, thermal, sensor, and control noise. We discuss these points showing in particular the design of the cryogenic apparatus, the final balance, and the quiet seismic site that will host the final measurement.

Abstract: International audience; QUBIC (a Q and U Bolometric Interferometer for Cosmology) is a next generation cosmology experiment designed to detect the B-mode polarisation of the Cosmic Microwave Background (CMB). A B-mode detection is hard evidence of Inflation in the ΛCDM model. QUBIC aims to accomplish this by combining novel technologies to achieve the sensitivity required to detect the faint B-mode signal. QUBIC uses technologies such as a rotating half-wave plate, cryogenics, interferometric horns with self-calibration switches and transition edge sensor bolometers. A Technical Demonstrator (TD) is currently being calibrated in APC in Paris before observations in Argentina in 2021. As part of the calibration campaign, the spectral response of the TD is measured to test and validate QUBIC's spectro-imaging capability. This poster gives an overview of the methods used to measure the spectral response and a comparison of the instrument data with theoretical predictions and optical simulations.

Abstract: The core of the experiment presented in this work is a 1-meter scale suspended interferometer with arms cavities, called SIPS (Suspended Interferometer for Ponderomotive Squeezing) and designed to be radiation pressure limited in the frequency band of the gravitational waves ground-based detectors. It will provide both a source of squeezed states by ponderomotive effect and a suitable test bench for the generation of frequency dependent squeezing (FDS) through Einstein Podolsky Rosen (EPR) states filtered in the arms cavities, useful to investigate the possibility to apply these techniques to reduce the quantum noise in the second and/or third generation of interferometric gravitational waves detectors, like Advanced Virgo+ or Einstein Telescope (ET). In this paper we focus, after a summary of the basic principle of the ponderomotive squeezing generation and of the noise that we expect will affect the SIPS sensitivity, on the study and realization of the local and global control system which is necessary to keep the interferometer in its working point.

Abstract: The Q & U Bolometric Interferometer for Cosmology, QUBIC, is an innovative experiment designed to measure the polarization of the Cosmic Microwave Background and in particular the signature left therein by the inflationary expansion of the Universe. The expected signal is extremely faint, thus extreme sensitivity and systematic control are necessary in order to attempt this measurement. QUBIC addresses these requirements using an innovative approach combining the sensitivity of Transition Edge Sensor cryogenic bolometers, with the deep control of systematics characteristic of interferometers. This makes QUBIC unique with respect to others classical imagers experiments devoted to the CMB polarization. In this contribution we report a description of the QUBIC instrument including recent achievements and the demonstration of the bolometric interferometry performed in lab. QUBIC will be deployed at the observation site in Alto Chorrillos, in Argentina at the end of 2019., Accepted for publication in the Journal of Low Temperature Physics

Abstract: QUBIC (Q \& U Bolometric Interferometer for Cosmology) is an international ground-based experiment dedicated in the measurement of the polarized fluctuations of the Cosmic Microwave Background (CMB). It is based on bolometric interferometry, an original detection technique which combine the immunity to systematic effects of an interferometer with the sensitivity of low temperature incoherent detectors. QUBIC will be deployed in Argentina, at the Alto Chorrillos mountain site near San Antonio de los Cobres, in the Salta province. The QUBIC detection chain consists in 2048 NbSi Transition Edge Sensors (TESs) cooled to 350mK.The voltage-biased TESs are read out with Time Domain Multiplexing based on Superconducting QUantum Interference Devices (SQUIDs) at 1 K and a novel SiGe Application-Specific Integrated Circuit (ASIC) at 60 K allowing to reach an unprecedented multiplexing (MUX) factor equal to 128. The QUBIC experiment is currently being characterized in the lab with a reduced number of detectors before upgrading to the full instrument. I will present the last results of this characterization phase with a focus on the detectors and readout system., Conference proceedings submitted to the Journal of Low Temperature Physics for LTD18

Abstract: The VIRGO Central Interferometer (CITF) is a short suspended interferometer operated with the central area elements of the VIRGO detector. The main motivation behind the CITF is to allow the integration and debugging of a large part of the subsystems of VIRGO while the construction of the long arms of the antenna is being completed. This will permit a faster commissioning of the full-size antenna. In fact, almost all the main components of the CITF, with the exception of the large mirrors and a few other details, are the same as those to be used for the full-size detector. In this paper the present status of the VIRGO CITF is reported.

Abstract: Advanced Virgo is the project to upgrade the Virgo interferometric detector of gravitational waves, with the aim of increasing the number of observable galaxies (and thus the detection rate) by three orders of magnitude. The project is now in an advanced construction phase and the assembly and integration will be completed by the end of 2015. Advanced Virgo will be part of a network, alongside the two Advanced LIGO detectors in the US and GEO HF in Germany, with the goal of contributing to the early detection of gravitational waves and to opening a new window of observation on the universe. In this paper we describe the main features of the Advanced Virgo detector and outline the status of the construction. journal_title: Classical and Quantum Gravity article_type: paper article_title: Advanced Virgo: a second-generation interferometric gravitational wave detector copyright_information: © 2015 IOP Publishing Ltd date_received: 2014-08-18 date_accepted: 2014-10-20 date_epub: 2014-12-18 ispartof: Classical and Quantum Gravity vol:32 issue:2 status: published

Abstract: A new generation of gravitational wave interferometers is under study with the main goal to improve the sensitivity of the present detectors which are taking data now. Two of the dominant noises which limit the actual sensitivity of the interferometers are the thermal noise of the suspended optics and the thermal lensing process. At low temperature it is possible to reduce both the effects. However, lowering the temperature of the test masses without injecting vibration noise from the cooling system is a technological challenge. We present the first results on a new active system to dampen the vibrations from a pulse tube refrigerator coupled to a suspended mirror.

Abstract: The advanced interferometer network will herald a new era in observational astronomy. There is a very strong science case to go beyond the advanced detector network and build detectors that operate in a frequency range from 1 Hz-10 kHz, with sensitivity a factor ten better in amplitude. Such detectors will be able to probe a range of topics in nuclear physics, astronomy, cosmology and fundamental physics, providing insights into many unsolved problems in these areas., 18 pages, 4 figures, Plenary talk given at Amaldi Meeting, July 2011

Abstract: This paper presents a complete description of Virgo, the French-Italian gravitational wave detector. The detector, built at Cascina, near Pisa (Italy), is a very large Michelson interferometer, with 3 km-long arms. In this paper, following a presentation of the physics requirements, leading to the specifications for the construction of the detector, a detailed description of all its different elements is given. These include civil engineering infrastructures, a huge ultra-high vacuum (UHV) chamber (about 6000 cubic metres), all of the optical components, including high quality mirrors and their seismic isolating suspensions, all of the electronics required to control the interferometer and for signal detection. The expected performances of these different elements are given, leading to an overall sensitivity curve as a function of the incoming gravitational wave frequency. This description represents the detector as built and used in the first data-taking runs. Improvements in different parts have been and continue to be performed, leading to better sensitivities. These will be detailed in a forthcoming paper. © 2012 IOP Publishing Ltd and Sissa Medialab srl.

Abstract: The detection of gravitational waves is one of the most challenging prospects faced by experimental physicists. Suspension thermal noise is an important noise source at operating frequencies between approximately 10 and 30 Hz, and represents a limit to the sensitivity of the ground based interferometric gravitational wave detectors. Its effects can be reduced by minimizing the losses and by optimizing the geometry of the suspension fiber as well as its attachment system. In this proceeding we will describe the mirrors double stage monolithic suspension system to be used in the Advanced Virgo (AdV) detector. We also present the results of the thermal noise study, performed with the help of a finite elements model, taking into account the precise geometry of the fibers attachment systems on the suspension elements. We shall demonstrate the suitability of this suspension for installation in AdV.

Abstract: The commissioning of the VIRGO central interferometer occasioned the implementation and tests of various algorithms for the characterization of the non-Gaussianity, non-stationarity and non-linearity of the dark fringe data. This library of prototypes will serve as groundwork for the near commissioning of VIRGO (full scale). We make a summary of the activities on that subject including the description of the selected algorithms and some results obtained with the data of the engineering runs.

Abstract: The design of third-generation gravitational-wave detectors requires dedicated sensors to perform very accurate measurements of the residual motion of mechanical components cooled down at cryogenic temperatures and accommodated close to the test masses. For this reason, we developed a vertical accelerometer prototype derived by the classical scheme widely used in Virgo seismic suspension control. Thermal contractions are the main concern when cooling down such a device and the calibration check at low temperature, in the absence of commercial sensors working in parallel, plays a crucial role. The accelerometer was conceived to be used at low frequencies (0.3–3 Hz) in a quite specific environment, where the noise produced by cryocoolers has to be suppressed. However, it can be easily operated over a wider frequency band, up to ∼100 Hz. The achieved sensitivity is ∼10 −8 ms −2 below 3 Hz. During 2013, the device was successfully installed in the KAGRA cryostat, where it was tested at low temperatures down to 8 K and provided the measurement of vertical vibrational modes of the inner thermal shield.

Abstract: To improve the sensitivity of the future generation of gravitational wave interferometers in the frequency range around 1 Hz it is necessary to decrease the seismic and Newtonian noise affecting the detector performance. This goal is achieved by installing the experimental apparatus in an appropriate underground site, where the Rayleigh surface wave of the microseismic motion should be attenuated. Here we report the results of an experimental campaign devoted to a long term characterization of one of the potential sites for the construction of a third generation of gravitational wave detector: the former mine of Sos Enattos (Sardinia, Italy). We analyzed the seismic stability within the low-frequency sensitivity band of a third generation gravitational observatory and the correlation between the microseismic band and the weather conditions, in particular focusing on the Tyrrhenian sea status.

Abstract: The automatic control of the suspended mirrors is a major task in operating an interferometric gravitational wave antenna. To reach the extreme sensitivity required for this kind of detector, an accurate alignment and a stable locking of the interferometer on its working point are crucial. The solution of this problem is particularly complex in the case of a multistage pendulum, such as the suspension system for seismic isolation adopted in VIRGO. A precise knowledge of the suspension mechanical transfer functions (TFs) for different forces applied in the control servo-loops represents essential information to reach the goal. In this article, we describe the apparatus we developed to measure the VIRGO suspension TF and we report the results thus obtained on full-scale suspensions at the VIRGO site. Preliminary results for the implemented control system of the last suspension stage are also presented.

Abstract: Thermal noise is a limiting factor of interferometric gravitational wave detectors sensitivity in the low and intermediate frequency range. A concrete possibility for beating this limit, is represented by the development of a cryogenic last stage suspension to be integrated within a complex seismic isolation system. To this purpose a last stage payload prototype has been designed and built. It has been suspended within a dedicated cryostat with the same technique adopted for the VIRGO payload and making use of two thin wires in a cradle configuration to support a mirror made of silicon. The cooling strategy, the thermal behaviour and the system mechanical response have been deeply studied while a measurement characterization campaign has been performed both at room temperature and at cryogenic temperature. In this paper, the preliminary results obtained together with the first cooling down of the 300 kg overall mass payload at about 25 K, are reported. This study will play a driving role in the design of the third generation gravitational wave detector.

Abstract: Thermal Noise is one of the limiting factor in the low and intermediate frequency range of the interferometric Gravitational Wave (GW) detectors. For beating this limit, a full scale last stage suspension (payload) prototype has been designed and built. Together with a mirror made of silicon, it has been cooled down at low temperature. Suspending the mirror from a cradle system, identical to that one used in the present VIRGO payload, the cooling strategy, the thermal behavior as well as the system mechanical response have been deeply studied. In this paper, the results obtained during the first cooling of the tested prototype are reported.

Abstract: The VIRGO suspensions are chains of passive mechanical filters designed to isolate the interferometer mirrors from seismic noise starting from a few Hz. In order to reduce the low-frequency swing of the mirror along the beam, an active control system, acting at the level of the suspension point, damps the main resonant modes of the system (all below 2.5 Hz). Another control loop, at the level of the optical payload, makes use of a digital camera monitoring the mirror position in all six degrees of freedom. Its main goal is to decrease the rms angular displacements of the mirror, on a time scale of several minutes, down to less than 1 μrad. All the seven suspensions of the VIRGO central interferometer are presently in operation, while the assembly of the last two, for the terminal mirrors, is in progress. The design and performance of the system are described in this paper. PACS number: 0480N (Some figures in this article are in colour only in the electronic version)

Abstract: A new generation of gravitational wave interferometers is under study with the main goal to significantly improve the sensitivity of the detectors presently taking data. Two of the dominant noises which limit the present sensitivity of the interferometers are the thermal noise of the suspended optics and the thermal lensing process. At low temperature it is possible to reduce both these effects. Pulse tube cryocooler technology is a quite promising in this field, but it vibrates and it implies a mechanical link between the cooling element (cold finger) and the thermal load. We developed a vibration-free cryostat equipped with soft mechanical links to attenuate the transmission of cold finger vibration whose amplitude is attenuated by more than two orders of magnitude by means of an active system.

Abstract: Nitrite-cured meat containing 120 mg Na 15 NO 2 /kg was fed to male ferrets ( Mustela putorius furo ). During consumption of the meat, the animals were dosed orally with 0.87 mmol [2- 2 H]proline. All urine was collected throughout the study and analysed for total N -nitrosoproline (NPRO) and isotopic enrichment of NPRO by mass spectrometry. The cured-meat diet increased the urinary excretion of NPRO 14-fold. Isotope analyses indicated that approximately 70% of the NPRO came from the cured meat, the majority of which was analytically unavailable or ‘bound’ NPRO in the meat. A small portion of the excreted NPRO appeared to be formed in the stomach as a result of ingesting the cured meat. A minor amount of the excreted NPRO did not contain any isotopically labelled atoms. The administration of ascorbic acid did not significantly alter NPRO excretion. Animals dosed orally with 11.4 μmol of a peptide in which the N-terminal proline was nitrosated increased their excretion of NPRO by 385 nmol over the following 48 hr. These data indicate that nitrite-cured meat contains bound NPRO which contributes to the total amount of NPRO in the urine.

Abstract: Corn oil samples were heated, with aeration, to 210 degrees C for a total of 5 hr. Both fresh and oxidized samples were urea-fractionated and the individual fractions were administered to male Sprague-Dawley rats by gastric intubation. The effects of urea adducts, adduct-free fractions, non-saponifiable fractions and unfractioned fresh and thermally oxidized oil samples on hepatic, intestinal and colonic drug-metabolizing enzymes were determined. The treatments had no significant effects on hepatic or intestinal drug-metabolizing or mixed-function oxidase activities. There was a significant (P less than 0.05) increase in colonic UDP-glucuronyltransferase activity in rats treated with thermally oxidized corn oil, while the non-saponifiable fraction of the same sample decreased (P less than 0.1) the activity of this enzyme. There was also a significant increase in the activity of colonic benzo[a]pyrene hydroxylase in rats treated with the non-adduct fraction or with urea adducts of the thermally oxidized corn oil. These data suggest the colon as a possible specific site for the alteration of mixed-function oxidase activities by products of thermally oxidized oils.

Abstract: The Millimetre and Infrared Testa Grigia Observatory 2.6-m Cassegrain telescope has been designed to allow high-sensitivity observations in the millimeter spectral range. For this purpose, in order to reduce unwanted contributions from local foregrounds, we adopted a sky-chopping technique, by wobbling the telescope subreflector. We describe the design and performance of the wobbling system, which can endure external forced two and three fields square-wave modulation and includes features such as high frequency, high amplitude, high duty cycle, low microphonics, and high stability.

41. In vivo inhibition of N-nitrosodimethylamine metabolism by 4-methylpyrazole: a model for endogenous nitrosation.

Subjects: Animals, Ascorbic Acid pharmacology, Biotransformation, Chromatography, Gas, Diet, Ferrets, Fomepizole, Male, Nitrites pharmacology, Thiocyanates pharmacology, Dimethylnitrosamine metabolism, Pyrazoles pharmacology
Abstract: The endogenous formation of N-nitrosodimethylamine (NDMA) was investigated in the ferret by inhibiting metabolism and monitoring urinary NDMA levels. The addition of 1.0 mg/ml of 4-methylpyrazole (4-MP) to the drinking water was sufficient to allow a 13% urinary recovery of a 4.0 nmol oral dose of NDMA to be made in 24 h. Without 4-MP, no NDMA could be detected in urine. There was no detectable urinary NDMA when dimethylamine (DMA) alone was given but when as little as 5 mumol of nitrite and 0.75 mmol of DMA were given, the urine contained approximately 0.3 nmol NDMA/day. Nitrite doses of 0-100 mumol along with 0.75 mmol of DMA resulted in a dose-dependent excretion of less than 0.1-2.5 nmol NDMA/day. When 10 mumol of aminopyrine was substituted for DMA and 40 mumol of nitrite given, the excretion of NDMA was 10 nmol day. Administration of ascorbic acid inhibited NDMA excretion and thiocyanate increased NDMA formation. Consumption of foods containing trace amounts of NDMA resulted in the excretion of NDMA but in most cases at levels that were lower than those ingested in the food. These data suggest that mumol amounts of nitrite can result in the endogenous formation of nmol amounts of NDMA in the acidic environment of the stomach. It also suggests that short-term ingestion of 4-MP might be an approach to studying the possible endogenous formation of NDMA in humans.

Abstract: Corn oil samples were heated, with aeration, to 210 degrees C for a total of 5 hr. Both fresh and oxidized samples were urea-fractionated and the individual fractions were administered to male Sprague-Dawley rats by gastric intubation. The effects of urea adducts, adduct-free fractions, non-saponifiable fractions and unfractioned fresh and thermally oxidized oil samples on hepatic, intestinal and colonic drug-metabolizing enzymes were determined. The treatments had no significant effects on hepatic or intestinal drug-metabolizing or mixed-function oxidase activities. There was a significant (P less than 0.05) increase in colonic UDP-glucuronyltransferase activity in rats treated with thermally oxidized corn oil, while the non-saponifiable fraction of the same sample decreased (P less than 0.1) the activity of this enzyme. There was also a significant increase in the activity of colonic benzo[a]pyrene hydroxylase in rats treated with the non-adduct fraction or with urea adducts of the thermally oxidized corn oil. These data suggest the colon as a possible specific site for the alteration of mixed-function oxidase activities by products of thermally oxidized oils.
