Lusatia Proposed Candidacy as Site for ET
12.11.2024 During the ET Collaboration´s Annual Meeting, Lusatia has proposed to become an official third candidate site for ET. This marks a significant step forward for the region, highlighting its unique combination of scientific, technological, and geological assets that align with the ambitious goals of the ET project. The Einstein Telescope is a proposed European gravitational wave observatory that aims to pioneer new frontiers in astrophysics by detecting gravitational waves from the most elusive and powerful cosmic events. With its advanced design and innovative technology, ET is poised to transform our understanding of the universe and make Europe a global leader in gravitational wave research. Lusatia’s geological foundation, specifically its…

European Research Council Synergy Grant: Making sense of the unexpected in the gravitational-wave sky
05.11.2024 ERC Synergy Grant: Making sense of the unexpected in the gravitational-wave sky Existing and future gravitational-wave detectors will be capable of observing signals with such precision that they may reveal possible deviations from Einstein’s general theory of relativity and the standard model of particle physics. To fully exploit this unique instrumental capability, fundamental advances are required in the theoretical description of black holes and their dynamics, the gravitational waves they emit, their cosmic environment, and the physics beyond the standard model. To provide the necessary theoretical framework, the project GWSky has been awarded 12 million euros over the next six years by the European Research Council. Read more

DTP/TALENT 2024, Nuclear Theory for Astrophysics, July 15 – August 2 2024, Trento
DTP/TALENT 2024, Nuclear Theory for Astrophysics, July 15 – August 2 2024, Trento Nuclear physics and astrophysics are strongly linked through neutron stars, compact objects that represent the densest form of matter in the universe. Neutron stars also have strong synergies to nucleosynthesis and the origin of the heaviest elements in the cosmos. This TALENT school will cover: 1) the equation of state of neutron-rich matter and new constraints inferred from nuclear theory, experiment and observations, 2) core-collapse supernova as the birthplace of neutron stars, and 3) neutron star mergers and gravitational waves to probe the neutron-star interior.
