NPA (Nuclear Particle Astrophysics) Seminar: Edward Daw, The University of Sheffield, “ADMX meets LIGO - Common ground between gravitational wave searches”

Tuesday Nov 8, 2016, 1:00 PM → 2:00 PM US/Eastern

WL 210

Searches for gravitational waves and for dark matter axions both aim to solve the most urgent problems in modern astrophysics having to do with our limited understanding of the ‘Dark Universe’ - the physics of objects that don’t emit electromagnetic radiation. I will compare and the ADMX axion search and the LIGO gravitational wave detectors, and go on to show that in spite of their differences, the same techniques in signal processing may be instrumental in solving very different problems in these two experiments.
