Q.

Variables dont really matter, but could you please write down step-by-step calculation for the
spectral density calculation written below the equation?

Equation used for Rayleigh NN model with respect to test-mass acceleration is:

! , = 2! ! !!!! !

!! !! !!!

cos
() sin
1

where
! = vertical ground displacement
h = height of the test mass above ground
! = Rayleigh wavenumber
= numerical factor that describes partial suppression of NN due to subsurface density changes
produced by Rayleigh field
= angle between direction of propagation of a Rayleigh wave and the direction of interferometer
arm

Test-mass acceleration is turned into a spectral density by
1) taking absolute square of one of the horizontal acceleration components
2) averaging over propagation directions f (which gives a factor in power spectral density)
a. This gives one noise term for each test mass.
b. 4 such terms need to be added using seismic spectra from ITMX, ETMX, ITMY, ETMY
3) taking square-root of this sum (2-b)
4) dividing this result (3) by L*(2*pi*f)2
