Abstract :
[en] The ET-FIBER project is a collaborative R&D initiative, focused on developing monocrystalline silicon fibres for suspending a 100 kg test mass in the E-TEST prototype. E-TEST serves as a critical cryogenic prototype for the Einstein Telescope , operates a large monocrystalline silicon mirror cooled radiatively to 20–25 K, while achieving low seismic noise below 10 Hz through advanced vibration isolation. In this context, ET-FIBER aims to design, manufacture, and characterise silicon fibres capable of supporting these large test masses under cryogenic conditions, while meeting the stringent mechanical and thermal noise requirements of next-generation detectors.
