WelcometoSchool of GravitationalWaves Warsaw 1st – 5th July
Purpose of theSchool The global network of the first generation large-scale gravitational-wave detectors has recently finished collecting data and the next generation of advanced detectors will start taking data in a few years time. The network involves detectors located in Europe (VIRGO, GEO600), USA (LIGO), and Japan (KAGRA). The collected data are being analyzed by the LIGO Scientific Collaboration and the VIRGO Collaboration and there are intensive preparations for the analysis of data from the advanced detectors. These preparations involve modeling of sources of gravitational radiation, development of data analysis methods and algorithms, development of computer codes and performing Monte Carlo simulations. The aim of the School is to provide the students sufficient information so that they shall be able to participate in the analysis of data from gravitational-wave detectors.
