项目摘要
Wee-g is a precision MicroElectroMechanicalSensor (MEMS) accelerometer that has been developed at University of Glasgow. It is a spin-off from the STFC-funded gravitational-wave research activities led by Prof . Hammond. Wee-g is the world's first MEMS gravimeter, capable of monitoring Earth tides; elastic deformations of the Earth's crust caused by the tidal potential of the Moon/Sun. Wee-g also detects gravitational anomalies down to 2% of the Earth tides, due to e.g. buried tunnels, magma intrusion in volcanoes or variations in the local water table depth.Wee-g can also operate as a seismometer with signal readout up to 5Hz, allowing measurement of naturally occurring microseismic or anthropogenic (human-generated) seismic noise. There are currently four Wee-g instruments installed on the flanks of Mt Etna monitoring the seismic and gravity activity on the volcano, and we estimate the TRL is 6 (prototype demonstration in a relevant environment).This project will;make the Wee-g 10x more sensitive to seismic signals. This will enable new opportunities within the PPAN communityadvance the TRL of the device to 7 via extended field trials with Metatek/INGV using closed-loop magnetic feedback control, and benchmarking with current gravimeters / seismometers.Specifically, we will deploy Wee-g systems at the LIGO-Hanford gravitational-wave observatory (LHO, US) and the STFC Boulby underground mine (UK) as a broad-band seismometer/gravimeter. At LHO, Wee-g will be used in the installed seismic array to monitor low-frequency seismic noise, enabling us to better model Newtonian Noise, a limit to the operating bandwidth of current/future gravitational-wave detectors. At Boulby, Wee-g will be installed as a standalone seismic sensor, with the longer-term vision to deploy multiple Wee-g instruments to provide detailed seismic and gravitational monitoring of the underground mine. Field trials with Metatek/INGV will deploy Wee-g sensorswith industry standard seismometers/gravimeters for benchmarking.This will allow the Wee-g instrument to progress towards commercialisation via a spinout opportunity, currently under discussion at University of Glasgow; as an ultra-broad band accelerometer.Wee-g is a maturing technology and we are leaders in the field of MEMS instrumentation. The team has a CEO designate in-place for the spinout opportunity and the named researcher (Dr. Prasad) has previously been successful in selection for the iCURE programme (unable to take up the position in 2022 due to a family bereavement). Thus, we have high expectation the project will succeed in its objectives.The project is excellent value for money, with in-kind support at the level of £209k.
Wee-g是格拉斯哥大学开发的精密微机电传感器(MEMS)加速度计。这是一个从STFC资助的引力波研究活动的副产品,由教授领导。哈蒙德。Wee-g是世界上第一台MEMS重力仪,能够监测地球潮汐;由月球/太阳的潮汐势引起的地壳弹性变形。Wee-g还可以探测到地球潮汐的2%以下的重力异常,例如地下隧道、火山岩浆侵入或当地地下水位深度的变化。Wee-g还可以作为地震仪工作,信号读数高达5 Hz,可以测量自然发生的微震或人为(人类产生的)地震噪声。目前有四个Wee-g仪器安装在Mt埃特纳的侧面,监测火山的地震和重力活动,我们估计TRL为6(在相关环境中的原型演示)。该项目将使Wee-g 10 x对地震信号更加敏感。这将为PPAN社区带来新的机遇,通过与Metatek/INGV使用闭环磁反馈控制进行扩展的现场试验,并与当前的重力仪/地震仪进行基准测试,将设备的TRL提高到7。具体而言,我们将在LIGO-Hanford引力波天文台(LHO,美国)和STFC Boulby地下矿井(英国)部署Wee-g系统作为宽带地震仪/重力仪。在LHO,Wee-g将用于安装的地震阵列,以监测低频地震噪声,使我们能够更好地模拟牛顿噪声,这是对当前/未来引力波探测器工作带宽的限制。在Boulby,Wee-g将作为一个独立的地震传感器安装,其长期愿景是部署多个Wee-g仪器,以提供地下矿山的详细地震和重力监测。与Metatek/INGV的现场试验将部署Wee-g传感器与行业标准地震仪/重力仪进行基准测试。这将使Wee-g仪器通过一个分拆机会朝着商业化方向发展,目前格拉斯哥大学正在讨论;作为超宽带加速度计。Wee-g是一项成熟的技术,我们是MEMS仪器领域的领导者。该团队有一位首席执行官为分拆机会而任命,而被任命的研究员(Prasad博士)此前曾成功入选iCURE计划(由于家庭丧亲,无法在2022年担任该职位)。因此,我们对该项目的目标抱有很高的期望。该项目物超所值,实物支持达到20.9万英镑。
