Aspects of 3rd generation detectors |
Abstract _ |
With the first generation of ground based gravitational wave detectors in operation at or close to design sensitivity, and plans well advanced for upgrades to form a second generation of instruments, considerable efforts are currently underway to design and carry out fundamental research towards a 3rd generation of interferometric detectors. This talk will discuss some of the motivations for, and aspects of the research towards this new generation of observatories |
