EXPLORER AND NAUTILUS DURING C6 NAUTILUS EXPLORER
CHANGES IN EXPLORER Jan 2005 April2005
EXPLORER and NAUTILUS - 2005 EXPLORER ~ 50 Hz @10-20 Hz-1/2 NAUTILUS 10-21 Hz-1/2
NEXT UPGRADE • NAUTILUS sensitivity is presently bounded by thermal noise. An improvement in sensitivity is expected if temperature is lowered from 3K to 100mK • EXPLORER sensitivity is limited by electronic noise. A double SQUID amplifier is ready to be used in order to improve the apparatus sensitivity

Possible Improvements EXPLORER Teff~ 2mK h ~ 3 10-19 Teff~ 200uK h ~ 1 10-19
Possible Improvement NAUTILUS Teff~ 2mK h ~ 3 10-19 Teff~ 200uK h ~ 1 10-19
NAUTILUS with a new amplifier • SQUID amplifiers 100 times better than present ones are becoming available • Implementing such a device on Nautilus cooled at 0.1 K would yield: Teff<50 K h ~ 5 10-20
