After decades of research, physicists now know how to detect Einstein's gravitational waves. Advanced gravitational wave detectors, the most sensitive instruments ever created, will be almost certain of detecting the births of black holes throughout the Universe. This book describes the physics of gravitational waves and their detectors. The book begins by introducing the physics of gravitational wave detection and the likely sources of detectable waves. Case studies on the first generation of large scale gravitational wave detectors introduce the technology and set the scene for a review of the experimental issues in creating advanced detectors in which the instrument's ...

Reviews for Advanced Gravitational Wave Detectors
'This book is not only a monograph on advanced gravitational wave detectors and the astrophysical phenomena they will explore, it also contains a pedagogically fine introduction to the field of gravitational wave science. I recommend it to any budding or mature scientist or engineer who wants an overview of this exciting field and where it is going.' Kip S. Thorne, ... Read more
