Abstract

The 10m Prototype facility at the Albert-Einstein-Institute (AEI) in Hanover,
Germany, employs three large seismic attenuation systems to reduce mechanical
motion. The AEI Seismic-Attenuation-System (AEI-SAS) uses mechanical
anti-springs in order to achieve resonance frequencies below 0.5Hz. This system
provides passive isolation from ground motion by a factor of about 400 in the
horizontal direction at 4Hz and in the vertical direction at 9Hz. The presented
isolation performance is measured under vacuum conditions using a combination
of commercial and custom-made inertial sensors. Detailed analysis of this
performance led to the design and implementation of tuned dampers to mitigate
the effect of the unavoidable higher order modes of the system. These dampers
reduce RMS motion substantially in the frequency range between 10 and 100Hz in
6 degrees of freedom. The results presented here demonstrate that the AEI-SAS
provides substantial passive isolation at all the fundamental mirror-suspension
resonances.
