Invited talk Australia’s future in gravitational wave physics and astrophysics Focus Session

Speaker

Dr Bram Slagmolen (OzGrav, ANU)

Description

What detector design, configuration and infrastructure are required to reach the gravitational wave horizon? I will discuss the proposed next generation gravitational wave detector, Cosmic Explorer. I will review the instrumental challenges and potential realisation to construct such an observatory.
The Einstein Telescope is European third generation gravitational wave detector. In this talk I will review the infrastructure and instrumentation design and the key challenges that it faces.
