摘要:

我们使用扭杆天线(TOBA)在$1-5\,\mathrm{Hz}$的频率范围内设置了随机引力波(GW)背景的第一个上限。TOBA是一种GW探测器,设计用于探测地面上的低频GW,具有由入射GW旋转的两个正交测试质量。我们使用TOBA进行了24小时的观察运行,并根据频率统计和贝叶斯统计设置了上限。最严格的值是$Ω_\mathrm{gw}h_0^2 \leq 6.0 \times10^{18}$(频率论)和$Ω_\mathrm{gw}h_0^2 \leq 1.2 \times 10^{20}$(贝叶斯),都在$2.58\,\mathrm{Hz}$,其中$h_0$是哈勃常数,单位为$100\,\mathrm{km/s/Mpc}$,$Ω_\mathrm{gw}$是每对数频率间隔的GW能量密度,单位为闭合密度。

英文摘要:

We set the first upper limit on the stochastic gravitational wave (GW) background in the frequency range of $1-5\,\mathrm{Hz}$ using a Torsion-bar Antenna (TOBA). A TOBA is a GW detector designed for the detection of low frequency GWs on the ground, with two orthogonal test masses rotated by the incident GWs. We performed a 24-hour observation run using the TOBA and set upper limits, based on frequentist statistics and Bayesian statistics. The most stringent values are $Ω_\mathrm{gw}h_0^2 \leq 6.0 \times10^{18}$ (frequentist) and $Ω_\mathrm{gw}h_0^2 \leq 1.2 \times 10^{20}$ (Bayesian) both at $2.58\,\mathrm{Hz}$, where $h_0$ is the Hubble constant in units of $100\,\mathrm{km/s/Mpc}$ and $Ω_\mathrm{gw}$ is the GW energy density per logarithmic frequency interval in units of the closure density.
