A ring-lasers array for fundamental physics
A. Di Virgilio, M. Allegrini, A. Beghi +14
After reviewing the importance of light as a probe for testing the structure of space-time, we describe the GINGER project. GINGER will be a three-dimensional array of large size r…
Optimization of the geometrical stability in square ring laser gyroscopes
R. Santagata, A. Beghi, J. Belfi +6
Ultra sensitive ring laser gyroscopes are regarded as potential detectors of the general relativistic frame-dragging effect due to the rotation of the Earth: the project name is GI…
Interferometric length metrology for the dimensional control of ultra-stable Ring Laser Gyroscopes
J. Belfi, N. Beverini, D. Cuccato +4
We present the experimental test of a method for controlling the absolute length of the diagonals of square ring laser gyroscopes. The purpose is to actively stabilize the ring cav…
Advanced Virgo: a 2nd generation interferometric gravitational wave detector
F. Acernese, M. Agathos, K. Agatsuma +231
Advanced Virgo is the project to upgrade the Virgo interferometric detector of gravitational waves, with the aim of increasing the number of observable galaxies (and thus the detec…
Improved Upper Limits on the Stochastic Gravitational-Wave Background from 2009-2010 LIGO and Virgo Data
The LIGO Scientific Collaboration, the Virgo Collaboration, J. Aasi +846
Gravitational waves from a variety of sources are predicted to superpose to create a stochastic background. This background is expected to contain unique information from throughou…
Search for gravitational radiation from intermediate mass black hole binaries in data from the second LIGO-Virgo joint science run
The LIGO Scientific Collaboration, the Virgo Collaboration, J. Aasi +847
This paper reports on an unmodeled, all-sky search for gravitational waves from merging intermediate mass black hole binaries (IMBHB). The search was performed on data from the sec…
Reconstruction of the gravitational wave signal during the Virgo science runs and independent validation with a photon calibrator
Virgo collaboration, T. Accadia, F. Acernese +193
The Virgo detector is a kilometer-scale interferometer for gravitational wave detection located near Pisa (Italy). About 13 months of data were accumulated during four science runs…
