Optomechanical transfer factors for scattered light noise estimations in the beamtubes of ground-based gravitational wave detectors

Scattered light is a relevant noise source in current ground-based gravitational-wave detectors and a critical design concern for next-generation observatories. Beamtube scattered light estimates usually combine optical propagation simulations with analytical couplings that do not fully propagate the frequency-dependen...
