Abstract
The sensitivity of interferometric detectors of gravitational waves su ch as LIGO or VIRGO could eventually be limited by the noise due to sc attered light propagation and rescattering in the long vacuum pipes co ntaining the laser beams. We propose a statistical method for evaluati ng scattered light noise and compare trapping systems, easy to impleme nt in Monte Carlo simulation codes. [S0556-2821(97)07622-4].
