Einstein Telescope Community Meeting Autumn 2022

Friday 21 Oct 2022, 09:00 → 15:30 Europe/Berlin

Königlicher Pferdestall

Michèle Heurs (Universität Hannover / AEI Hannover), Harald Lück (AEI Hannover), Achim Stahl (RWTH Aachen), Christian Stegmann (Z_Ltg (DESY Zeuthen))

The individual presentations are now available for download in the Timetable

The German Einstein Telescope Community is invited to a face-to-face meeting in Hanover to present status and perspectives in Gravitational Wave Astronomy.

The status of future projects such as the PTA (Pusar Timing Array), LISA (Laser Interferometer Space Antenna) space mission and potential observing opportunities at 10 kHz and beyond will be presented.

Current German activities towards the realization of the Einstein Telescope (ET) will be presented and discussed in view of a German contribution to this future Gravitational Wave interferometer.

Short topical mini-workshops shall introduce into the topics

• Data Analysis
• Optics, Mirrors, Coatings
• Mechanics, Cryogenics, Vacuum, etc.

to enable potential participation of new groups in the ET activities in Germany.

The meeting is organized as a hybrid event.
