The discovery of gravitational waves in 2016 has opened a new era in the exploration of our Universe. At present, several transient gravitational wave signals associated to binary system mergers have been reported by LIGO/VIRGO. An interesting open question is if the Universe is also permeated by a stochastic gravitational wave background, that can be of astrophysical or cosmological origin.
The aim of this workshop is to bring together experts on stochastic gravitational wave physics to discuss about the most recent updates and their interpretations in new physics models. The workshop will be informal with large time dedicated to questions and discussions.
List of speakers:
Tania Regimbau (LAPP Annecy)
Iason Baldes (ULB)
Thomas Konstandin (DESY)
Jose Miguel No (Madrid University)
Please register timely to the event.
The workshop will take place at the Vrije Universiteit Brussel (Pleinlaan 2, 1050 Brussels) in the Jean Sacton seminar room at the IIHE (1G003)
The workshop is part of a series of Belgian GW meetings whose purpose is to encourage Belgian research on Gravitational Wave Physics.
The workshop is supported by the Strategic Research Program HEP@VUB.
The workshop is part of a series HEP@VUB Crosstalk Workshops whose objective is to promote interdisciplinary activities across research groups in theoretical and experimental aspects of particle physics, astro-particle physics and high-energy astrophysics
