Description for Advanced Interferometers and the Search for Gravitational Waves
paperback. With a special focus on solutions adopted for Europe's Advanced VIRGO project which will increase detection sensitivity by a factor of 10, this volume covers all the experimental aspects of searching for gravitational radiation with optical interferometers. Editor(s): Bassan, Massimo. Series: Astrophysics and Space Science Library. Num Pages: 399 pages, 223 black & white illustrations, biography. BIC Classification: PDDM; PG; PHDV; PHVB. Category: (P) Professional & Vocational. Dimension: 235 x 155 x 21. Weight in Grams: 611.
The search for gravitational radiation with optical interferometers is gaining momentum worldwide. Beside the VIRGO and GEO gravitational wave observatories in Europe and the two LIGOs in the United States, which have operated successfully during the past decade, further observatories are being completed (KAGRA in Japan) or planned (ILIGO in India). The sensitivity of the current observatories, although spectacular, has not allowed direct discovery of gravitational waves. The advanced detectors (Advanced LIGO and Advanced Virgo) at present in the development phase will improve sensitivity by a factor of 10, probing the universe up to 200 Mpc for signal from inspiraling ...

About Massimo . Ed(S): Bassan
Massimo Bassan is Associate Professor of Physics at University of Rome Tor Vergata. His research focuses mainly on gravitational waves: he built the first Italian prototype of the interferometer, took part in the development of resonant cryogenic antennas, and he is currently involved in the spatial mission LISA (Laser Interferometer Space Antenna) of ESA. He is also member of the ... Read more
Reviews for Advanced Interferometers and the Search for Gravitational Waves
“This is an interesting book which bridges the gap between popular articles and treatises on gravitational waves, and the highly specialized articles on aspects of potential gravitational-wave sources and the detectors being designed to search for them. … a book aimed at young keen researchers starting out in the field of gravitational-wave detection. … it will also be of interest ...
