Sommario
On February 23th, 2016 at 4.00 pm, a special CommTech Talk will take place at DEIB Conference Room.
The guest of this special event is Matteo Barsuglia, researcher at the Centre National de la Recherche Scientifique (CNRS), based at the Laboratory APC (AstroParticle and Cosmology), in Paris. Since 2008 he is the head of a group contributing to the development of the Virgo project, to the analysis of LIGO-Virgo data and to the improvement of the interferometric techniques used in the gravitational-wave detectors.
Einstein predicted the existence of gravitationalwaves in 1916, but until September 2015 they were never been detected. After an introduction of the theory, of the main steps of the gravitational-wave search and of the international context, we will discuss the recent observation by LIGO of the gravitational-waves emitted by the merger of a two black-holes at a distance of a approximately 1 billions light-years.
