The courses will be devoted to students searching for a degree thesis argument, to PhD and postdoc students.
This year the program will cover the following topics:
| Gravitational waves and detection principles |
Interferometers |
| Sources of GW |
Optics |
| Post Newtonian formalism |
Virgo |
| Black holes coalescence |
Quantum optics |
| Gravitational collapse |
Advanced detectors |
| Gamma bursts |
Virgo detector tour |
| Data analysis: noise, bursts, coalescing binaries, periodic sources |
