Gravitational waves

There are now several major experiments well underway to detect gravitational waves. Despite many years without any detections, and a few false starts, there are good reasons to think that the first detection cannot be far off. Here are websites of the major current gravitational wave detectors. These are worth looking at to get a feel for the incredible technological challenge of this work.

  1. GEO 600 German-British experiment.
  2. LIGO US experiment.
  3. VIRGO Italian-French experiment.
  4. TAMA Japanese experiment.
