LISA and LISA-like mission test-mass charging for gamma-ray burst detection

Grimani, Catia; Villani, Mattia; Fabi, Michele +1 more

Cubic gold-platinum test-masses (TMs) play the role of free-falling geodesic reference and interferometer end mirrors of the future Laser Interferometer Space Antenna (LISA) observatory for low-frequency gravitational wave detection in space. A similar arrangement has been proposed for the Chinese missions Taiji and TianQin and for the LISA follow…
