Description

Einstein Telescope (ET) will be the European Third-Generation (3G) Gravitational Wave (GW) Observatory, designed to observe the whole Universe. ET will be a multi-detector, multi-interferometer observatory covering the whole spectrum observable from Earth with interferometric GW detectors. Thanks to its unprecedented sensitivity ET will take the lead in the newborn multi-messenger astronomy by combining information delivered by ET with optical, IR, UV, gamma, cosmic ray and neutrino telescopes observations. ET, being a unique tool to investigate the spacetime fabric of the Universe, will impact on our fundamental physics knowledge, and our understanding of the fundamental interactions governing the evolution of black-holes and neutron stars.

The realization of ET is a technological challange and the ET Collaboration is nowdays strongly committed to develop the needed scientific technologies. The ETIC project is realizing a network of research facilities with the completion of the infrastructures and labs, and the assembling and testing of all the scientific apparatuses. Several technologies will be developed within ETIC infrastructures devoted to the optics, electronics and photonics  

 

This event, organized by the INFN and founded by the PNRR ETIC project, gives the opportunity to understand the different technologies under development, from adaptive optics, capable to thermally compensate optical aberrations, to suspensions able to work at low frequency. 

The school will offer lectures for PhD students and young researchers/technologists on the ET technological issues with specific hands on sessions to learn how to deal with.

 

The School will foresee the participation up to a maximum of 30
