Deliverables of WP2

Task Name Form / Date

2.1 Properties of Test Mass Materials document M12

2.2 Properties of mirror coatings at low temperatures database M24document M36

2.3 Thermal and mechanical properties of suspension elements document M24document M48

Task 2.1 most urgent!

ELiTES – ET-LCGT Interferometric Telescope Exchange of Scientists

WP2: mirror thermal noise and cryogenics

Groups /members involved (from proposal)

U Tokyo: T. Suzuki, N. Kimura, K. Yamamoto, Y. Sakakibara, C. DanU Roma: P. Puppo, F. RicciU Jena: P. Seidel, R. Nawrodt, G. Hofmann, J. KommaU Glasgow: S. Rowan, P. Murray, (S. Reid), NN PhD studentU Sannio: I. Pinto, V. Galdi, V. Pierro, R. de Salvo, M. PrincipeUWS: S. Reid

ELiTES – ET-LCGT Interferometric Telescope Exchange of Scientists

WP2: mirror thermal noise and cryogenics

Proposed exchange within the first year

U Jena: 1 month ERU Sannio: 1 month ERU Roma: several short visits (I assume WP1 – check with Ettore)

U Tokyo: 6 months ESR to U Glasgow

-> discussion at GWADW 2012 as nearly all ppl involved are present, defining content of work (samples, measurements, document, inner-European travel if needed)

Upcoming events / tools

aim: monthly telecon to give update from each group(proposal to find 1 common date for all WPs and rotate?)

We should use the GWADW 2012 for f2f meeting(s) as mentioned in proposal!

General Meeting in October. (Michele)

tools for exchange: mailing lists (PLEASE REGISTER!, keep traffic to important content!)codified documents at ET pagework area at ET page

Tasks

subscribe to mailing lists all groups

6 months visit U Tokyo – U Glasgow clarify content, datesSheila, Stuart, Ronny, JP colleagues

coordinate sapphire work links between WP1 and 2Ettore, Kazuhiro, Ronny,Sheila, Stuart

clarify travel of next 2 years according to WPs all groups

organize f2f meeting at GWADW 2012 Ronny(invitation through mailing list)

organize next telecon Ronny(focus of content: task 2.1 – bulk materials, task 2.3 – sapphire )
