FH workshop on gravitational waves and particle physics

→ Europe/Berlin
Description

This workshop of two half-days is dedicated to an FH-internal discussion of the physics of gravitational waves (GW) – with a focus on the exploration of connections to elementary particle physics - and to the technological opportunities connected to this. 

The first day will introduce the topic both from a theoretical point of view and with a coverage of the basic techniques and their ingredients. On the second day we will then discuss the opportunities that joining an existing or future project might bring for DESY-FH, including the strategic and political consequences of a given decision.  In addition, a short overview of the current landscape in terms of experiments and strategic developments is given.

This workshop will inform the DESY-FH public and allow informed discussions.
