The EU call

Gravitational wave research is cited with equal dignity in the call But, what is the relationship with underground

laboratories ?

INFRA-2010-1.1.34: Research Infrastructures for dark matter search, neutrinos,gravitational waves. A project under this topic should aim at integrating the key deepunderground laboratories in Europe, for dark matter search, double beta decay, lowenergy neutrino physics, long-baseline neutrino beam experiments, and gravitationalwave physics, including theory.

Shared data analysis, common publication policy

Last common effort:Joint publication on Nature:

Why underground Labs?

OK, the “network” crucial aspect is clear, but

The future will be underground

Current detectors are on the surface, but …In Japan, the evolution from the pioneer interferometer Tama300 is an underground cryogenic detector realized in the Kamioka site

Europe, is leading the far future evolution thanks to the FP7 supported Design Study “Einstein Telescope” (ET), involving the GEO and Virgo collaborations

ET – The Einstein Telescope

ET is a 3rd generation GW observatory conceptual design study, supported by the European Commission within the FP7

ET is well inserted in a wide evolution scenario ET preparatory work has been supported by EU in ILIAS (JRA3 and N5)

and by ESF trough the Exploratory Workshop tool ET conceptual DS is in FP7 ET is one of the “Magnificent Seven” in the ASPERA roadmap ET is in the GWIC roadmap ET is a common effort of almost the whole GW community in Europe

ET is a conceptual design study (DS) as all the FP7-DS No R&D support in the proposal, but need for National and European

specific support declared: JRA! ET coordination tool within the DS will be exhausted in July 2011

We need a coordination tool to continue in the 3rd generation adventure

GWnet structure

Three main tasks have been identified:

1. Detector commissioning, upgrade and simulation

2. Network data analysis methodologies and GW sources

3. Strategy and coordination

M. Punturo, GWnet, ILIAS-next Paris 09 meeting

Task #1 - Detector commissioning, upgrade and simulation

1st subtask: ILIAS-next start-up is perfectly in overlap with the advanced detectors (2nd

generation) upgrade preparation and installation A lot of technology, expertise, young scientists need to be exchanged between the

European groups to support the GEO-HF and advanced Virgo upgrade realization and pre-commissioning

2nd subtask: ET design completion needs the exchange of technologies and an intense

networking activity ET WG can cover that only until beginning 2011 GW related R&D embedded in the ILIAS-next JRAs will exchange info through this

subtask 3rd subtask:

Optical and Mechanical simulation tools must be developed and exchanged for 2nd and mainly 3rd generation GW detectors Our simulation is so different from the SIMnet topics to make difficult the integration

Our simulation has been kept in GWnetM. Punturo, GWnet, ILIAS-next Paris 09 meeting

10

Task #2 - Network data analysis methodologies and GW sources

2nd and 3rd generation GW detectors will largely extend the distance and the frequency range of the detectable GW sources New Data Analysis (DA) methodologies must be developed to fully benefit of

this improvement Larger frequency band, multi-messenger (e.m. & astro-particle joint detection,…)

New source modeling must be developed to cover and interpret the eventual waveform Numerical relativity, spinning sources, black holes,…

Subtask #1: Support the study of gravitational waves sources Subtask #2: Networking with observational astronomers

Task #3 - Strategy and coordination

After June 2011, GWnet must acquire the coordination role of the whole community addressed toward the 3rd generation

In the past it has been performed by the WG3 of N5-ILIAS

Currently this role is covered by the WP5 of ET-DS Coordination board (Executive board)

The overall coordination (including GW related R&D in the JRAs) will be performed in this task

12

GWnet formal organization and budget

In N5-ILIAS, although all the institutions were participating (task coordinators, WG members, …), the full budget was concentrated in EGO Effective steering policy, efficient spending performances, reliable

accounting, capability to allocate resources to other institutions through EGO

We would like to repeat this procedure More complexity in FP7 because the new European full-cost model

Need to correctly tune the man power in the project Current budget “simulation”:

460k€, including travels, workshops, post-docs and administration costs

13

GWnet participants The single participant (EGO) configuration permitted to

support in ILIAS-FP6 the whole GW community in Europe, well beyond the original proposers https://www.ego-gw.it/ILIAS-GW/documents/Network_particip

ants.pdf

Currently, the “active” proposers are: EGO, MPG, INFN, CNRS, University of Glasgow, University

of Birmingham, University of Cardiff, Nikhef, University of Tübingen

But we will want to enlarge the participation to the whole 3rd generation science team
