Funded Activity Summary

Across the Gravitational Wave Spectrum. Violent astrophysical events in the universe emit gravitational waves across a spectrum from mHz to kHz, producing an infinitesimal?but detectable'strain in space-time itself. Like high energy physics projects, gravitational wave detection involves giant multi million dollar research facilities and extensive international collaboration. This project will develop ideas, equipment and algorithms which will enhance the performance of both high frequency (ground) and low frequency (space) based laser interferometer type detectors, and see Australia expand its already important role in searching for nature's most elusive signals.
