The General problem of Gravitational Wave Detection
J. Alberto Lobo
U. Barcelona
Metric GWs have a general monopole-quadrupole
structure whose precise form must be assessed by experiment. Weber
bars and laser interferometers must be organised in a network in order
to make full signal deconvolution possible. Resonant spherical
antennae, on the other hand, offer the possibility of complete signal
characterisation with a single instrument set. In this talk I will
review some of the major issues in GW detection science, and discuss
current lore solutions to them. Special emphasis will be given to the
resonant sphere, as it is the newest --and probably the richest--
detector idea, both in beauty and elegance and in its actual detection
power.
The almuerzo-seminario is
intended to be an informal seminar and an open forum for discussion.
You are wellcome to bring your own
bocata (sandwich), or coffee or tea.
Where: Modulo C-XVI, 3rd floor,
Facultad de Ciencias U.A.M., C.U. Cantoblanco, 28049-Madrid
