Abstract: We report the tilt sensitivity reached by the ARCHIMEDES tiltmeter in the 2–20 Hz frequency region, where seismic noise is expected to give an important limitation to thesensitivity in the next future Gravitational Waves detection, particularly through Newtoniannoise. The tilt noise level ̃θ(f)is about 10−12rad/√Hz in most of the band, reaching theminimum of ̃θ=7·10−13rad/√Hz around 9 Hz. The tiltmeter is a beam balance with a 0.5 msuspended arm and interferometric optical readout, working in closed loop. The results havebeen obtained by a direct measurement of the ground tilt at the Sos Enattos site (Sardinia,Italy). This sensitivity is a requirement to use the tiltmeter as part of an effective Newtoniannoise reduction system for present Gravitational Waves detectors, and also confirms thatSos Enattos is among the quietest sites in the world, suitable to host the third-generationGravitational Waves detector Einstein Telescope
