Recorded talks: Third Generation Design: Third Generation Design Talks Index
- Stefan Ballmer (Syracuse University)
The Einstein Telescope design and R&D activities are gaining momentum and a project organisational structure is being developed and put in place. This presentation gives a brief update on the status, highlights current and future activities and opportunities for participation.
Joshua Smith and the Cosmic Explorer Team
We present an overview of the status of and plans for Cosmic Explorer (CE), the U.S. contribution to the third-generation gravitational-wave detector network. CE will observe gravitational-wave sources across the history of the universe. Sources that are barely detectable by today’s instruments will be resolved with incredible precision....
Abstract:
GW170817 was a golden event for multi-messenger astronomy made possible by gravitational wave detection. This this event allowed us to gleam an insight into short gamma-ray bursts, neutron star mergers, jet formation and topology, r-process nucleosynthesis but information about the merger and post-merger phases of the system are still unbeknown to us. A gravitational wave detector...
Upgrades in instrumentation and technology over the next five to ten years will enable the LIGO and Virgo detectors to explore gravitational-wave sources with higher fidelity and the potential to make phenomenal new discoveries. To realize its full potential gravitational-wave astronomy would require the construction of new facilities that can host increasingly improved instrumentation for a...
