With the replacement of a somewhat lossy input test mass on the Hanford 4-km x-arm, all three interferometers should now be capable of achieving design sensitivity (approximately 14 Mpc range for the canonical NS-NS inspiral for the 4-km IFOs, approximately 7 Mpc range for the 2-km IFO). Currently, the 4-km IFOs have demonstrated sensitivities in the 11 MPc range and the 2-km IFO in the 4.5-MPc range. S-5 is expected to start on November 4th, 2005 with all three IFOs operating very close to design sensitivity. Michelson & Morley enter the 21st century... LIGO Home: http://www.ligo.caltech.edu/
