Popis: Measurements of the Q factor of oven pulled ribbons of standard fused quartz over a frequency range of 6 t0 160 Hz give results close to those predicted by thermo-elastic damping. This material loss, maintained after breaking and rewelding, is consistent with suspension requirements of advanced gravitational wave detectors.
