Grant Activity:
Equipment for research on future gravitational wave detectors
Purpose:
Five years ago Australia played a key role in the first detection of gravitational waves, that opened a brand new form of astronomy and detected the most powerful energy outbursts ever observed in the universe. The 70 gravitational wave signals now detected tell us there is a huge population of black holes to be discovered if sensitivity can be increased. This project builds on Australia’s investments in measurement science by providing special lasers and cryocoolers that will allow development of revolutionary new techniques for amplifying gravitational wave signals and reducing noise by manipulating the ways that sound and light interacts.
