Presentation Transcript

  1. WHERE DO WE GO FROM HERE? • LIGO  Advanced LIGO • TAMA  LCGT • VIRGO  Upgrade • GEO600  GEO HF • AURIGA ) • NAUTILUS )  Sphere, Dual? • EXPLORER ) LIGO-G050037-00-Z Jim Hough – Aspen 2005

  2. WHERE THEN? Research Issues • Coating thermal noise – how to reduce? • Better materials? • Cooling? • Mesa-beams? • Standard Quantum Limit • How much improvement from squeezing, QND schemes etc? • Gravity Gradient • Underground detectors LIGO-G050037-00-Z Jim Hough – Aspen 2005

  3. The Future • Heading to low temperature underground detector with non-classical illumination • Where? • Japan upgrade of LCGT • Europe: third generation EGO detector • US: ‘super-LIGO’ – new site? • China? • Australia? • When? 2015-20 ?? • Also LISA follow-0n: Big Bang Observer LIGO-G050037-00-Z Jim Hough – Aspen 2005

  4. This and further Meetings • Any additions/changes to program? • Can we manage without Saturday morning session this year? YES but not to be a precedent • Elba next year – programme? 27 May till June 2 2006 • Future meetings (including Elba) • Networking • Detector characterisation/commissioning • Squeezing and other sensitivity enhancing schemes • Some source talks • LISA and its follow-ons for one? LIGO-G050037-00-Z Jim Hough – Aspen 2005
