Charge induced acceleration noise in the LISA gravitational reference sensor

Sumner, Timothy J.; Wass, Peter J.; Conklin, John W. +2 more

The presence of free charge on isolated proof-masses, such as those within space-borne gravitational reference sensors, causes a number of spurious forces which will give rise to associated acceleration noise. A complete discusssion of each charge induced force and its linear acceleration noise is presented. The resulting charge acceleration noise…
