The Precision Laser Inclinometer

Le résumé fourni par la source

Earth surface movements, like earthquakes or human-produced (cultural) noise, can induce a degradation of the instantaneous luminosity of particle accelerators or even sudden beam losses. In the same way the presence of seismic and cultural noise limits the detection capabilities of interferometric antennas used for the observations of gravitational waves. This contribution discusses the importance of monitoring the effects of earth vibrations using a novel multi-purpose instrument, the Precision Laser Inclinometer (PLI). Few examples of recorded events are discussed along with ideas on PLI applications.
