Description
In 2015 the first detection of gravitational waves was made, such detection was made by kilometer size interferometer detectors. The calibration of such a detector is still a challenge then a calibrator was proposed. This calibrator is a resonant mass gravitational wave detector that operates at frequencies where the gravitational waves have been detected. Previou work showed that a tradicional suspension will couple to the detection modes of the calibrator then a magnetic suspension is proposed. This work shows the calculations in designing such suspension. The calibrator has its vibration modes simulated in finite element methods and its operational frequency is tuned to the desired range to allow coincident operation with the laser iterferometric gravitational wave detectors.
