ABSTRACT
Torsion pendulums are widely used for the measurement of small forces. In this study, we investigated the impact of temperature fluctuations on a torsion pendulum using heating devices to modulate the environmental temperature at different specific frequencies. The response coefficient between the temperature variation and the torque of the torsion pendulum was found to vary at different frequencies, with values from 4 × 10-15 N mK-1 at 0.1 mHz to 3 × 10-13 N mK-1 at 10 mHz. A passive thermal-insulation system was used to reduce the torque response within this frequency band, which is dominated by temperature noise. The results demonstrate that this modulation method provides a useful way to independently investigate the noise in a torsion pendulum resulting from environmental temperature fluctuations over a wide frequency band.
