The upgrade of GEO600

Lück, Harald, Affeldt, Christopf, Degallaix, Jerome et al.

Understand

The German / British gravitational wave detector GEO 600 is in the process of being upgraded.

The upgrading process of GEO 600, called GEO-HF, will concentrate on the improvement of the sensitivity for high frequency signals and the demonstration of advanced technologies.
In the years 2009 to 2011 the detector will undergo a series of upgrade steps, which are described in this paper.
