1 ILIAS GW Meeting Mallorca - October 23-24, 2005Luca Taffarello Status of the commissioning of the AURIGA detector Luca Taffarello (INFN Sezione di Padova) on behalf of AURIGA Collaboration

2 ILIAS GW Meeting Mallorca - October 23-24, 2005Luca Taffarello Summary of the talk: New detector set-up First Results, calibration and thermal behaviour Investigation of the un-modelled noise peaks Up-conversion of low frequency vibrations Solution of the problem New mechanical isolation at low frequency Result achieved: very stable and gaussian behaviour Duty Cycle 98 % (from 19 th May 2005)

3 ILIAS GW Meeting Mallorca - October 23-24, 2005Luca Taffarello new mechanical suspensions: attenuation > 360 dB at 1 kHzFEM modelled new capacitive transducer: two-modes (1 mechanical+1 electrical)optimized mass new amplifier: double stage SQUID 200  energy resolution new data analysis: C++ object oriented codeframe data format Expected target AURIGA II run with 1999-2003 upgrades
