Gravitational Wave Detection

by Prof. Yi Yang (杨毅) (Yang Ming Chiao Tung University)

Tuesday 24 Sept 2024, 10:00 → 12:00 Asia/Shanghai

Tsung-Dao Lee Institute/N6F-N600 - Lecture Room (Tsung-Dao Lee Institute)

Abstract: 

In this talk, I will provide an overview of gravitational waves (GWs) and the advanced techniques employed for their detection. I will review the current state of gravitational wave observatories, focusing on the LIGO-Virgo-KAGRA (LVK) collaboration, and highlight their key achievements in this field. Additionally, I will address the significant challenges associated with gravitational wave detection, particularly the issues of noise classification and reduction in GW data analysis. I will discuss the machine learning methods developed to address these issues. Finally, I will outline proposed advancements and future directions aimed at further enhancing the sensitivity and capabilities of gravitational wave detectors.
