Scientific paper

The Virgo gravitational wave detector is an interferometer with 3 km long arms in construction near Pisa to be commissioned in the year 2000. Virgo has been designed to achieve a strain sensitivity 0264-9381/14/6/011/img1 of a few times 0264-9381/14/6/011/img2 at 200 Hz. A large effort has gone into the conception of the mirror suspension system, which is expected to reduce noise to the level of 0264-9381/14/6/011/img3 at 10 Hz. The expected signals and main sources of noise are briefly discussed; the choices made are illustrated together with the present status of the experiment.
