Calibration of the Advanced LIGO detectors
Event Start:

Event End:
2020-02-26T12:00:00
Event Information:
Ground-based gravitational wave detectors are kilometre-scale laser interferometers that operate in a closed servo control loop configuration. The output data stream must be accurately and precisely calibrated to estimate the impinging gravitational wave signal. Gravitational waveforms, astrophysical source parameters, and cosmological parameter estimates all rely upon this calibrated data stream, so it is critical that calibration be done with a high degree of accuracy and precision.
