Description

'The content of the SaulsonaEURO (TM)s book remains valid and offers a versatile introduction to gravitational wave astronomy.

The book is appropriate for undergraduate students and can be read by graduate students and researchers who want to be involved in either the theoretical or the experimental traits of the study of gravitational waves.'Contemporary PhysicsLIGO's recent discovery of gravitational waves was headline news around the world.

Many people will want to understand more about what a gravitational wave is, how LIGO works, and how LIGO functions as a detector of gravitational waves.This book aims to communicate the basic logic of interferometric gravitational wave detectors to students who are new to the field.

It assumes that the reader has a basic knowledge of physics, but no special familiarity with gravitational waves, with general relativity, or with the special techniques of experimental physics.

All of the necessary ideas are developed in the book.The first edition was published in 1994.

Since the book is aimed at explaining the physical ideas behind the design of LIGO, it stands the test of time.

For the second edition, an Epilogue has been added; it brings the treatment of technical details up to date, and provides references that would allow a student to become proficient with today's designs.
