Expected Science:1. Gravitational Wave Astronomy

Milky Way• Study of the instability in the neutron stars (glitches in the radio

emission) – test for neutron star models

Galactic Astronomy• Coalescence of dense objects (Neutron Stars or Black Holes)• BH/BH coalescence can be used as a distance yard stick

Cosmology• Stochastic background – signature of the distribution of mass at the

early age of the Universe – selection of inflation models• Detection of BH/BH coalescence out to z=2 (3rd generation

detectors) – measurement of the expansion rate of Universe


Science



STREGA (JRA)

Study of Thermal noise Reduction for European Gravitational Wave Detectors

• 10 times reduction of TN w.r.t. the best level achievable with the current technology(TN is the major limit for the GW detection)

• ~120 physicists (IT, F, NL, UK)

GWA (NW)

Gravitational Wave Antennas

• - To promote the collaboration between the European Experiments (data exchange and detectors upgrade)- To support the joint observations with the traditional astronomy

• ~300 physicists (D, IT, F, NL, ES, UK)

GEO600 (Hannover)VIRGO (Pisa)

Expected Science:2. Direct Dark Matter Search

Observational evidence for cold non-baryonic Dark Matter in the universe

Possibly linked to particle physics

• Supersymmetry (WIMPs)• Axions

Direct WIMP search by elastic scattering on nuclei (nuclear recoils)


Science



Search for very rare nuclear recoil events Sensitivity today ~ 1 cts / kg / week

Ultra-pure Ge-Detectors, NaI-Detectors (HDMS, DAMA, NaIAD)

With high statistic: look for annual modulation of recoil spectrum (relative speed varies as earth orbits around sun)

DAMA Evidence ???

(A,Z) (A,Z+2) + 2e- neutrinoless Double Beta Decay (00-DBD-DBD)never observed – > 1025 y

(A,Z) (A,Z+2) + 2e- + 2erare decay allowed by the Standard Model

already observed – 1019 y

• Lepton number non conservation: L = -2• new physics beyond the Standard Model• neutrinos are massive Majorana particles

m 0

After the discovery of neutrino flavor oscillations, 0-DBD has got an excellent discovery potential

The only viable experiment capable to extend sensitivity to neutrino mass down to ~10 meV

Two Possibilities are usually discussed:
