Freise Put here the description of the content of the section . 5.2 Executive Summary Responsible: WP3 coordinator, A. Freise Put here a summary of the main achievement/statements of this section . 5.3 Review on the geometry of the observatory Author(s): Andreas Freise,StefanHild This section briefly reviews the reasoning behind the shape of current gravitational wave detectors and then discusses alternative geometries which can be of interest for third-generation detectors. We will use the ter- minology introduced in the review of a triangular configuration [220] and discriminate between the geometry, topology and configuration of a detector as follows: The geometry describes the position information of one or several interferometers, defined by the number of interferometers, their location and relative orientation. The topology describes the optical system formed by its core elements. The most common examples are the Michelson, Sagnac and Mach–Zehnder topologies. Finally the configuration describes the detail of the optical layout and the set of parameters that can be changed for a given topology, ranging from the specifications of the optical core elements to the control systems, including the operation point of the main interferometer. Please note that the addition of optical components to a given topology is often referred to as a change in configuration. 5.3.1 The L-shape Current gravitational wave detectors represent the most precise instruments for measuring length changes. They are laser interferometers with km-long arms and are operated differently from many precision instruments built for measuring an absolute length.

  • The Einstein Telescope (ET) Is a Proposed Underground Infrastructure to Host a Third- Generation, Gravitational-Wave Observatory
    The Einstein Telescope (ET) is a proposed underground infrastructure to host a third- generation, gravitational-wave observatory. It builds on the success of current, second-generation laser- interferometric detectors Advanced Virgo and Advanced LIGO, whose breakthrough discoveries of merging black holes (BHs) and neutron stars over the past 5 years have ushered scientists into the new era of gravitational-wave astronomy. The Einstein Telescope will achieve a greatly improved sensitivity by increasing the size of the interferometer from the 3km arm length of the Virgo detector to 10km, and by implementing a series of new technologies. These include a cryogenic system to cool some of the main optics to 10 – 20K, new quantum technologies to reduce the fluctuations of the light, and a set of infrastructural and active noise-mitigation measures to reduce environmental perturbations. The Einstein Telescope will make it possible, for the first time, to explore the Universe through gravitational waves along its cosmic history up to the cosmological dark ages, shedding light on open questions of fundamental physics and cosmology. It will probe the physics near black-hole horizons (from tests of general relativity to quantum gravity), help understanding the nature of dark matter (such as primordial BHs, axion clouds, dark matter accreting on compact objects), and the nature of dark energy and possible modifications of general relativity at cosmological scales. Exploiting the ET sensitivity and frequency band, the entire population of stellar and intermediate mass black holes will be accessible over the entire history of the Universe, enabling to understand their origin (stellar versus primordial), evolution, and demography.

  • The Emergence of Gravitational Wave Science: 100 Years of Development of Mathematical Theory, Detectors, Numerical Algorithms, and Data Analysis Tools
    BULLETIN (New Series) OF THE AMERICAN MATHEMATICAL SOCIETY Volume 53, Number 4, October 2016, Pages 513–554 http://dx.doi.org/10.1090/bull/1544 Article electronically published on August 2, 2016 THE EMERGENCE OF GRAVITATIONAL WAVE SCIENCE: 100 YEARS OF DEVELOPMENT OF MATHEMATICAL THEORY, DETECTORS, NUMERICAL ALGORITHMS, AND DATA ANALYSIS TOOLS MICHAEL HOLST, OLIVIER SARBACH, MANUEL TIGLIO, AND MICHELE VALLISNERI In memory of Sergio Dain Abstract. On September 14, 2015, the newly upgraded Laser Interferometer Gravitational-wave Observatory (LIGO) recorded a loud gravitational-wave (GW) signal, emitted a billion light-years away by a coalescing binary of two stellar-mass black holes. The detection was announced in February 2016, in time for the hundredth anniversary of Einstein’s prediction of GWs within the theory of general relativity (GR). The signal represents the first direct detec- tion of GWs, the first observation of a black-hole binary, and the first test of GR in its strong-field, high-velocity, nonlinear regime. In the remainder of its first observing run, LIGO observed two more signals from black-hole bina- ries, one moderately loud, another at the boundary of statistical significance. The detections mark the end of a decades-long quest and the beginning of GW astronomy: finally, we are able to probe the unseen, electromagnetically dark Universe by listening to it. In this article, we present a short historical overview of GW science: this young discipline combines GR, arguably the crowning achievement of classical physics, with record-setting, ultra-low-noise laser interferometry, and with some of the most powerful developments in the theory of differential geometry, partial differential equations, high-performance computation, numerical analysis, signal processing, statistical inference, and data science.

  • Stochastic Gravitational Wave Backgrounds
    Stochastic Gravitational Wave Backgrounds Nelson Christensen1;2 z 1ARTEMIS, Universit´eC^oted'Azur, Observatoire C^oted'Azur, CNRS, 06304 Nice, France 2Physics and Astronomy, Carleton College, Northfield, MN 55057, USA Abstract. A stochastic background of gravitational waves can be created by the superposition of a large number of independent sources. The physical processes occurring at the earliest moments of the universe certainly created a stochastic background that exists, at some level, today. This is analogous to the cosmic microwave background, which is an electromagnetic record of the early universe. The recent observations of gravitational waves by the Advanced LIGO and Advanced Virgo detectors imply that there is also a stochastic background that has been created by binary black hole and binary neutron star mergers over the history of the universe. Whether the stochastic background is observed directly, or upper limits placed on it in specific frequency bands, important astrophysical and cosmological statements about it can be made. This review will summarize the current state of research of the stochastic background, from the sources of these gravitational waves, to the current methods used to observe them. Keywords: stochastic gravitational wave background, cosmology, gravitational waves 1. Introduction Gravitational waves are a prediction of Albert Einstein from 1916 [1,2], a consequence of general relativity [3]. Just as an accelerated electric charge will create electromagnetic waves (light), accelerating mass will create gravitational waves. And almost exactly arXiv:1811.08797v1 [gr-qc] 21 Nov 2018 a century after their prediction, gravitational waves were directly observed [4] for the first time by Advanced LIGO [5, 6].

  • The Holometer: a Measurement of Planck-Scale Quantum Geometry
    The Holometer: A Measurement of Planck-Scale Quantum Geometry Stephan Meyer November 3, 2014 1 The problem with geometry Classical geometry is made of definite points and is based on “locality.” Relativity is consistent with this point of view but makes geometry “dynamic” - reacts to masses. Quantum physics holds that nothing happens at a definite time or place. All measurements are quantum and all known measurements follow quantum physics. Anything that is “real” must be measurable. How can space-time be the answer? Stephan Meyer SPS - November 3, 2014 2 Whats the problem? Start with - Black Holes What is the idea for black holes? - for a massive object there is a surface where the escape velocity is the speed of light. Since nothing can travel faster than the speed of light, things inside this radius are lost. We can use Phys131 to figure this out Stephan Meyer SPS - November 3, 2014 3 If r1 is ∞, then To get the escape velocity, we should set the initial kinetic energy equal to the potential energy and set the velocity equal to the speed of light. Solving for the radius, we get Stephan Meyer SPS - November 3, 2014 4 having an object closer than r to a mass m, means it is lost to the world. This is the definition of the Schwarzshild radius of a black hole. So for stuff we can do physics with we need: Stephan Meyer SPS - November 3, 2014 5 A second thing: Heisenberg uncertainty principle: an object cannot have its position and momentum uncertainty be arbitrarily small This can be manipulated, using the definition of p and E to be What we mean is that to squeeze something to a size λ, we need to put in at least energy E.

  • Kinetic Models for the in Situ Reaction Between Cu-Ti Melt and Graphite

The kinetic models of the dissolution reaction of spherical, cylindrical, and flat C source particles in Cu-Ti melt were deduced, and the expressions of the time for the complete reaction of C source particles of different sizes were obtained. The mathematical relationship between the degree of reaction of C source and the reaction time was deduced by introducing the shape factor. By immersing a cylindrical C rod in a Cu-Ti melt and placing it in a super-gravity field for the dissolution reaction, it was found that the super-gravity field could cause the precipitated TiCx particles to aggregate toward the upper part of the sample under the action of buoyancy. Therefore, the consuming rate of the C rod was significantly accelerated. Based on the flat C source reaction kinetic model, the relationship between the floating speed of TiCx particles in the Cu-Ti melt and the centrifugal velocity (or the coefficient of super-gravity G) was derived.

  • Gravitational Decoupling in Higher Order Theories
    S S symmetry Article Gravitational Decoupling in Higher Order Theories Joseph Sultana Department of Mathematics, Faculty of Science, University of Malta, MSD 2080 Msida, Malta; [email protected] Abstract: Gravitational decoupling via the Minimal Geometric Deformation (MGD) approach has been used extensively in General Relativity (GR), mainly as a simple method for generating exact anisotropic solutions from perfect fluid seed solutions. Recently this method has also been used to generate exact spherically symmetric solutions of the Einstein-scalar system from the Schwarzschild vacuum metric. This was then used to investigate the effect of scalar fields on the Schwarzschild black hole solution. We show that this method can be extended to higher order theories. In particular, we consider fourth order Einstein–Weyl gravity, and in this case by using the Schwarzschild metric as a seed solution to the associated vacuum field equations, we apply the MGD method to generate a solution to the Einstein–Weyl scalar theory representing a hairy black hole solution. This solution is expressed in terms of a series using the Homotopy Analysis Method (HAM). Keywords: Einstein–Weyl gravity; gravitational decoupling; black holes 1. Introduction Obtaining exact physically relevant solutions of Einstein’s field equations is by no means a straightforward task. The spherically symmetric perfect fluid analytic solutions of Einstein’s equations have been derived and analyzed in detail [1,2]. However, as soon as Citation: Sultana, J. Gravitational one relaxes the assumption of a perfect fluid source and considers more realistic sources, Decoupling in Higher Order Theories. then the problem of finding analytic solutions becomes intractable.

We describe the use of conformal mappings as a mathematical mechanism to obtain exact solutions of the Einstein field equations in general relativity. The behaviour of the spacetime geometry quantities is given under a conformal transformation, and the Einstein field equations are exhibited for a perfect fluid distribution matter configuration. The field equations are simplified andthenexact static and nonstatic solutions are found. We investigate the solutions as candidates to represent realistic distributions of matter. In particular, we consider the positive definiteness of the energy density and pressure and the causality criterion, as well as the existence of a vanishing pressure hypersurface to mark the boundary of the astrophysical fluid. 1.
