Describing the physics of gravitational waves and their detectors, this book is a valuable reference for graduate students and researchers in physics and astrophysics. Case studies of large scale gravitational wave detectors introduce the technology and set the scene for a review of the experimental issues involved in creating detectors.
After decades of research, physicists now know how to detect Einstein's gravitational waves. Advanced gravitational wave detectors, the most sensitive instruments ever created, wil... MORE
