Gravitational Waves Sources And Detectors Proceedings Of The International Conference

Download or read book Gravitational Waves: Sources And Detectors - Proceedings Of The International Conference written by Francesco Fidecaro and published by World Scientific. This book was released on 1997-04-19 with total page 382 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The construction of large interferometers for gravitational wave detection is now in progress in Europe and in the United States. To stimulate theoretical and experimental work a conference was organised in Cascina (Italy), where the Virgo interferometer is being built. Review talks discussed the expected signals, covering general relativity and astrophysical aspects (binary coalescence, supernovae, neutron stars, cosmological background). Experimental talks gave the current status of the running experiments (resonant bars, prototype interferometers, satellite tracking) and of the planned ones (large interferometers, ultra cryogenic resonating bars and spheres, space missions).

Book excerpt: The 16th conference of the International Society on General Relativity and Gravitation (GR16), held at the International Convention Centre in Durban, South Africa, from 15 to 21 July, was attended by 450 delegates from around the world. The scientific programme comprised 18 plenary lectures, 1 public lecture and 19 workshops which, excepting 3 plenary lectures, are presented in this proceedings. It was the first major international conference on general relativity and gravitation held on the African continent.

Book excerpt: The International Conference on Gravitation and Astrophysics(ICGA) is to serve the needs of research workers in gravitation and astrophysics in the Asia-Pacific region. This proceedings covers a wide and hot area of research, including cosmological model, gravitational lensing, precision measurement of G, CMB, Kerr space-time, gravitational wave, the LISA, LIGO, LCGT projects in Japan, black hole, dark matter, Yang-Mills gravity, neutron star, type la supernovae, quasi-local energy, anti-de Sitter space-time.

Download or read book Gravitational-Wave Astronomy written by Nils Andersson and published by . This book was released on 2020 with total page 680 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This introduction to gravitational waves and related astrophysics provides a bridge across the range of astronomy, physics and cosmology that comes into play when trying to understand the gravitational-wave sky. Key ideas are developed step by step, leading up to the technology that caught these faint whispers from the distant universe.

Download or read book Cosmology and Particle Physics written by Ruth Durrer and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2001-04-06 with total page 622 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: At this conference, both particle physicists and cosmologists presented exciting new results, from experiments that determine with unprecedented accuracy whether the universe is spatially flat, whether it is accelerating and what the nature of the dark matter could be, to more speculative ideas about its origin, based on theories of particle physics which might be confirmed or disproved in the not too distant future. This conference convinced everyone that we are truly living in the Golden Age of Cosmology.

Download or read book Overview Of Gravitational Waves, An: Theory, Sources And Detection written by Gerard Auger and published by World Scientific. This book was released on 2017-02-15 with total page 326 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book describes detection techniques used to search for and analyze gravitational waves (GW). It covers the whole domain of GW science, starting from the theory and ending with the experimental techniques (both present and future) used to detect them.The theoretical sections of the book address the theory of general relativity and of GW, followed by the theory of GW detection. The various sources of GW are described as well as the methods used to analyse them and to extract their physical parameters. It includes an analysis of the consequences of GW observations in terms of astrophysics as well as a description of the different detectors that exist and that are planned for the future.With the recent announcement of GW detection and the first results from LISA Pathfinder, this book will allow non-specialists to understand the present status of the field and the future of gravitational wave science.

Download or read book Frontiers of Fundamental Physics written by B. G. Sidharth and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2007-09-18 with total page 369 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Sixth International Symposium "Frontiers of Fundamental and Computational Physics", Udine, Italy, 26-29 September 2004, aimed at providing a platform for a wide range of physicists to meet and share thoughts on the latest trends in various, mainly cross-disciplinary research areas. This includes the exploration of frontier lines in High Energy Physics, Theoretical Physics, Gravitation and Cosmology, Astrophysics, Condensed Matter Physics, Fluid Mechanics. Such frontier lines were unified by the use of computers as an, often primary, research instruments, or dealing with issues related to information theory. The book contains contributions by Nobel Laureates Leon N. Cooper (1972) and Gerard ‘t Hooft (1999), and concludes with two interesting chapters on new approaches to Physics Teaching.
