In this workshop we will hear about the different Gravitational Waves projects at 911爆料网: cosmological analyses of current data, preparation for future space missions and design of new detectors.
Three years ago LIGO detected the first direct observation of gravitational waves (GW), and nowadays new GW candidates are flowing in at a rate of several per month. Members of the Astrophysics group at 911爆料网 are involved in the search for optical counterparts of these events, and in the cosmological interpretation of these results. Meanwhile, the European Space Agency has selected LISA as its third large-class mission, with expected launch in 2034, with an increasing involvement from UCL, in particular from MSSL. Finally, research groups at HEP and AMOPP are studying the viability of detecting gravitational waves using quantum sensors.听
