The detection of gravitational waves in 2015 has been hailed a scientific breakthrough and one of the most significant scientific discoveries of the 21st century. Gravitational-wave physics and astronomy are emerging as a new frontier in understanding the universe.
 
Advanced Interferometric Gravitational-Wave Detectors brings together many of the world's top experts to deliver an authoritative and in-depth treatment on current and future detectors. Volume I is devoted to the essentials of gravitational-wave detectors, presenting the physical principles behind large-scale precision interferometry, the physics of the underlying noise sources that limit interferometer sensitivity, and an explanation of the key enabling technologies that are used in the detectors. Volume II provides an in-depth look at the Advanced LIGO and Advanced Virgo interferometers, as well as examining future interferometric detector concepts. This two-volume set will provide students and researchers the comprehensive background needed to understand gravitational-wave detectors.
 
Key Features:

• This is the most up-to-date and detailed technical treatise on the newly-built Advanced LIGO and Advanced Virgo detectors
• Some of the topics included here are unique, having never been covered in other books
• The editors and contributors are the world's acknowledged experts in gravitational wave interferometry

 

Readership: Graduate students and researchers interested in gravitational waves and experimental physics.
