Recorded talks: Third Generation Infrastructures: Third Generation Infrastructures Talk Index
- Enrico Calloni (NA)
In this talk I will give an overview of the currently ongoing seismic characterisation of the Sos Enattos area, the proposed first corner site for ET in Sardinia. In 2019 we started an extensive measurement campaign proving the low environmental noise features of the area. Several measurement stations are installed at surface and at the different depths along the former mine tunnels. New...
Next generation surface-based gravitational wave detectors will have increased arm-length of up to 40 km. Due to the earth’s curvature 30 m deep trenches or tunnels are required for a straight laser beam to reach the end-stations. Locations with minimal soil digging and filling could help reduce the construction cost. We use digital elevation data to find such optimal locations, in the USA,...
An overall feasibility study is carried out in Sardinia as one of potential site for the construction of the Einstein Telescope (ET), a third-generation gravitational wave underground observatory.
In order to optimize the location of the corner points of the tunnels hosting the interferometer a technical feasibility study is performed, also including cost-benefit analyses.
A 3D modeling of...
The SAR-GRAV underground laboratory is located in SOS-ENATTOS mine area (Lula Mining District, Sardinia) and was designed to host small-to-medium-sized experiments, intended as individual experiments of fundamental physics and geophysics, and prototypes of equipment for larger experiments, such as future gravitational wave detectors. The laboratory, which will host the ARCHIMEDE experiment...
