Description
To build suspensions for the main optics of 3G gravitational wave interferometers that will operate at cryogenic temperatures, one must consider the triple roles that the system plays: suspend 200kg mirrors, cool them and ensure the lowest possible thermal noise. In this talk, we will present the results of the latest mechanical tests performed on silicon fibers to understand what is the state of the art based on the minimum requirements for a cryogenic suspension for ET.
